The title of the exhibition refers to each artist’s unique vision, ranging from the abstract to the realistic, from black and white to intense color, and from high impact to quiet contemplation. The artwork spans the gamut from pure photography to pure computer generated composition. But no matter what the stylistic differences, all the images in the show leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
