Artist Spotlight: Clayton Spangler’s Dynamic Vision at the Autumn Winds Exhibit

Last Updated 10/15/2024

This fall, the mesmerizing photographic interpretations of West Virginia’s landscape by Clayton Spangler take on a starring role at the Autumn Winds Group Exhibit, hosted at Gallery 610, 610 W. 14th Street in Huntington, WV. Powered by RenewAll, this exhibit offers visitors the chance to experience Spangler’s unique approach to photography, which pushes the boundaries of traditional landscape imagery. Just looking at the images in this blog could put you in a trance!

Spangler captures moments where color, shadow, and light converge in ways most people never notice. His work transforms intimate landscapes into dynamic compositions filled with energy, movement, and shape. Spangler’s creative process is rooted in long-exposure photography, where he manually manipulates the camera to create the illusion of kinetic energy. This technique forms the foundation for his interpretive pieces, which he enhances through digital painting, brushing in vivid color and bold contrasts until the images take on a life of their own. (Check out the Tik Tok of an example of long-exposure photography). 

“There’s a kind of magic that happens when you become a part of what you set out to capture, and it captures you instead.”  - Clayton Spangler

Spangler’s photography has been featured in notable publications like Wonderful West Virginia and Southern Living, and his award-winning work regularly appears in galleries across West Virginia. At Gallery 610’s Autumn Winds Exhibit, his innovative use of technology and artistry offers a fresh, interpretive look at the state’s natural beauty.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see Spangler’s visionary art up close at Gallery 610, where his captivating works will inspire you to see the world through a different lens. Meet him in person on November 9th from 12PM-3PM at the Autumn Winds Artist Reception!
