Drawing from more than five decades of practice, the exhibition brings together photographs created over a 55-year period, revealing a coherent and quietly powerful body of work rooted in intuition, discipline, and a lifelong pursuit of beauty.
Vallarino’s artistic foundations were formed in the late 1960s and early 1970s through his studies with Minor White, whose teachings emphasized perception beyond appearances. That philosophy continues to resonate throughout this series. Working primarily with an 8 x 10 view camera, Vallarino approaches photography as both a meditative act and a craft refined through patience and precision. His mastery of large-format techniques allows for extraordinary detail, transforming familiar subjects into images that feel both hyper-real and strangely abstract.
