Gunnar Plake captures the perception of motion in a single photographic frame. His impressionistic landscapes and seascapes compress time, dissolve detail yet allow us to recognize the nature of the image. His unique color photographs are laminated and mounted on anodized aluminum giving it a sculptural quality that seemingly floats from the wall.

Plake currenlty resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His work has been the subject of many recent shows throughout the U. S. and is in the collections of The Brooklyn Museum, The Denver Art Museum, The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and The Huntington Galleries.
