ARTmostfierce was able to go and see only two shows . This was the other one . At Clampart , Brian always has the right eye candy photography to make you want to buy and  own.

 For me it is always a combination of pleasure and pain because ...you kind want to buy it all. I must tell you the minute this recession is over  or I hit the mega millions, this is one of the galleries to go on a real shopping spree.  99.9% of the shows, I always like and the prices are very reasonable.  The selection of artists, series and work is right up my alley.

The photographic work of Stan Gaz is very interesting and rightly so, for being presented on very large format photographs. Considering all the effort that Stan puts in to creating the photo series, the prices and edition number are extremely reasonable and collectable. Now...you really need an empty wall for this ones. They are beautiful and command to be alone in the wall. The photographs of craters demonstratrates an exploration of life,  a larger vision of the globe and providing meditation about the Universe.

In the project and more intimate room @ Clampart the photo series of German photographer, Andrea Diefenbach , AIDS In Odessa showcase a more social -photo journalistic approach dealing with the HIV and AIDS in Odessa , Ukraine. The photographs provide and intimate view of what is really happening in that part of the world and makes us aware of the fact that the global proportions of the AIDS epidemic . There is a book published from this photo series that shares more light into the subject and it is quite beautifully put together . Go and see both of this artists in this show. Different perspectives and approach but, they both have a global approach and conscience.

The  two photographs below, were my favorite ones of the whole series
