Gallery Opening

ROCK ISLAND GALLERY

MIKE LEINHAUSER & JUDITH EASTBURN

August 19-October 8, 2021
​

Mike Leinhauser

Mike Leinhauser, of Bettendorf, presents 51 portraits taken over 51 years of practice as a photographer. To Mike, “a portrait captures something about the person that is part of what or who they are, their manner, habits, gestures, etc. that would identify how you know them. I don’t believe that portraits must show faces to be a portrait, even though many do. Look at my portrait “Gary,” no face shown, but it tells you a lot about Gary.” Leinhauser uses humor to put people at ease which enables him to capture their personality.

Judith Eastburn

Judith Eastburn, Des Moines, presents a series of photographs called “Elevators and Open Spaces.” Her images are gelatin silver prints, printed from negatives in the darkroom. Eastburn states, “I believe we are profoundly affected by the landscape of our childhood. It establishes our sense of space and how we fit into it, and we recognize as familiar those places encountered later in life which resemble it.” The landscapes of her youth in southeast Iowa serve as her point of reference when she photographs other parts of the world.  “I think Iowa and its openness made me aware of the horizon and sensitive to smaller variations in the land’s surface.”
