It's nearly impossible to look at Renate Aller's seascapes and not think of Hiroshi Sugimoto's treatments of the same subject. But where Sugimoto's pictures speak of calm and regularity, Aller conjures high key painterly effects. Pointing her camera at the Atlantic Ocean off Long Island, Aller coaxes textures as gritty as sand or as oozy as cake frosting. Where Sugimoto is ethereal, Aller is concrete. These are real places and unique moments, rather than universal ones. Her pictures insist that we keep on looking.
