| A
master of beautifully crafted, enigmatic black and white prints
where man's mysterious presence frequently hovers, Chip
Forelli's personal work is represented internationally by
fine art photography galleries and is part of many private and
corporate collections. Recent solo exhibitions have been at
the Steinhardt Conservatory Gallery at the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden, the Mercedes Benz Gallery of New York, the Art Institute
of Atlanta, the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies and Hoopers
Gallery in London, England.
Communication Arts Photography
Annual has featured his work on numerous occasions and chose
one of his abstract botanical studies for a cover. Black &
White magazine, Lenswork Quarterly, Photo District News, Archive,
Graphis, Sierra Magazine, View Camera and Camera Arts have
all dedicated space to his compelling work.
In addition to photographing purely for himself, Forelli's
travels also take him on assignment where he works with prestigious
advertising and corporate clients photographing campaigns
for BMW, Land Rover, AT&T, Eastman Kodak and pro bono
work for Doctors Without Borders.
Originally trained as an architect and musician, Forelli was
drawn to photography because it shared with architecture and
music "the demand for a fine balance between aesthetic
sensibility and craft," he says. "If you alter the
balance, you run the risk of becoming overly conceptual or
preoccupied with technique."
Forelli has lectured at Photo Expo and the Art Director's
Club and teaches at the International Center of Photography
in New York City, New Jersey Heritage Workshops, Peter’s Valley
Workshop program and the Maine Photographic Workshops in addition
to giving private tutorials. He co-founded the New York Photographer’s
Forum to help uncover the work of new photographers and regularly
juries exhihibitions. Top awards have been awarded to him
from Communication Arts, Archive and the Carnegie Museum of
Natural History. The New York Times praised his "otherworldly
lighting" and "intense compositions" noting
that Forelli's images "tease perception with their ghostlike
forms."
Chip Forelli lives in the Delaware Valley of Pennsylvania
with his wife Gloria and three sons Jake, Cris and Ryan.
