KGB Photography Group at The Gallery ABQ

First Friday’s ARTScrawl brought me to The Gallery ABQ for the December holiday show featuring art by all of the gallery members. In addition, KGB Photography Group: Kozeliski, Gilbert, and Bidewell presented their stunning exhibition of photography in the gallery salon. Art enthusiasts crowded the gallery as we all listened to John Gilbert give the Artist Insight Talk. 

Gilbert, a native of Albuquerque, has always loved art and photography. He has been a professional photographer since 1985. Gilbert says, “When photoshop came out I knew it was for me, to be able to combine art and photography and create unique portraits and art pieces.” His prints are amazingly rich and vibrant, with a subtle three dimensional quality. Gilbert has worked for several big studios but prefers to create photo illustrations and fine art pieces from his home studio now.
