On Of Light - The Art of Seeing

Curatorial Statement, Willa Van Nostrand

I’m delighted to introduce Liz Fiedorek to the World’s Fair Gallery audience. I first came to know Liz through her work as an art dealer and collector, and what struck me immediately was her eye. She has an extraordinary instinct for what’s exceptional, and a way of seeing that’s entirely her own. Liz notices the thing within the thing: the object with just the right presence, the unexpected relationship between two forms; the image that stays with you long after you’ve seen it. I admire that quality in her, and I feel lucky that our paths have led us to this very special project. There’s something wonderfully kismet about the way this show came together, and I’m thrilled to bring this work to World’s Fair Gallery.

Fiedorek has spent decades looking closely at art, and that history is embedded in her photographs as a rigorous visual intelligence. Her compositions are spare without being austere; considered without feeling predetermined. She knows when to frame, when to leave space, and when an image has reached the point where nothing needs to be added. The work is compelling because it holds recognition and transformation in the same frame: we know what we’re looking at until, suddenly, it’s strangely new. Across still life, landscape, and images that move toward abstraction, light becomes a compositional force, revealing structure, collapsing distance, and changing the character of the familiar. These are photographs made by someone who’s spent a lifetime developing her eye and now brings it entirely to her own work. I believe this is important work, and I’m so excited to share it with you.
