If your Plan A this weekend was gathering your ten closest friends for a pick-up game in the summer-like warmth we had going on last weekend, you might want to reload weather.com. Luckily, Gallery Plan B has a backup plan for those of us wanting to get out of the March cold. They are currently showing a group photography exhibit, highlighting some gorgeous travel and wildlife scenes that will make you believe you’re standing out in the sunshine.
Mathew Ramsey steals the show with his vibrant photographs of urban decay. The rusted side of a ship and stacks of colorful barrels are transformed into works of beauty. Take a step back from Ramsey’s photos, and they turn into abstract paintings. The Broken Line is particularly good. The photograph shows a slightly sagging chain-link fence that is interrupted by a missing chunk in the middle of its wood runner; this is juxtaposed with the aluminum wall behind it, painted bright red in wide strokes down the wall until it nearly reaches the fence height, then remains unfinished.
