Contemporary Landscapes

Paul Nielsen

August 2001

Paul Nielsen's Contemporary Landscapes is based on colour photographs the artist has been taking around Durham in the past two years.
"It is from long walks throughout the year that I noticed how the same places can become radically different from one time to another, whether the time of day or time of year. When walking I have noticed that some areas just stand out at that particular moment, and it is the quality of that moment that I have tried to capture."

Contemporary Landscapes is Nielsen's first exhibition as a photographer. He is also well known to the community as a musician and recent organizer of the Sing-out Café.
