Wild

"Wild - I have drunk it, deep and raw - a deep, pulsating, resounding life force, alive with rich memories of where we all have been and where we all long to go, to feel alive. Wilderness is in me as it is in you. It lingers in the primal landscape of our collective psyche and the unseen realm of spirit, forging deep grooves of infinite beauty and limitless freedom. Wilderness is so indistinct from our essential being, that the untamed and untethered version of ourselves, mirrors the eternal mystery that is our own true nature." - Caroline Gibello

Deeply inspired by Africa, wildlife and fine art, photographer Caroline Gibello’s work conveys a strong sense of beauty and reverence for spirit: images that bear witness to a profound affinity and love for wilderness and our natural world. In her curated selection of prints, Caroline shares images captured in her beloved Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia. The wildlife images she translates through her unique lens, offer a conduit to an elemental, visceral experience of nature’s awe-inspiring beauty, which she believes is a reflection of our own.

At the root of all Caroline’s photographic journeys is mystery, and it is this which inspires the freedom of her work - a freedom which allows for an image to reveal itself in whatever light and composition her creative eye defines. The quiet surrender, rather than active pursuit, emanates a gentleness from her images, allowing a scene to authentically translate an evocative sensitivity and emotion, magnifying Africa’s majesty.

Caroline's photographic prints are imbued with a quiet, serene essence and a signature sun-bleached palette that continues to inspire patrons from all corners of the globe, as she follows the call of the wild to transpose Africa’s beauty and align its spirit with the critical need to conserve it, at all costs.

A selection of beautiful limited editioned, framed and unframed prints will be exhibited at J/M Gallery. The PV will take place on 11 July, from 6 pm - 9 pm. Opening hours are from 9.30 am - 6 pm daily. Please email caro@carolinegibello.com to RSVP or for inquires and further details.
