ARTHOUSE on R is proud to present the art exhibition “Chromography” at ARTHOUSE Gallery on historic R Street in Sacramento, November 8 – December 8, 2024. 

The show can be viewed from 10am-4pm Tues – Sat and 11am-2pm Sunday. The opening reception, which includes an opportunity to meet the artist, will be held on Saturday, November 9th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. “Chromography” features digitally manipulated color photographs based on Satterlee’s extensive collection of photos of all things chrome. With literally thousands of photos of beautiful autos from which to work, these composited, mirrored images create some wonderfully abstract objects.. Some resemble jewelry, others robots, even animals and Satterlee’s favorites… hearts. His love of color, texture, line and shiny steel surfaces all come together in this intriguing series of work. Attending Autorama, Hot August Nights and NHRA car shows has always been a passion for Donald.

The colorful, sparkling reflective surfaces, polished chrome, and pin striping all capture the photographer’s eye. Satterlee’s interest in hot rods and custom cars dates way back to building model cars in his childhood. His interest in metal work was sparked by college welding and automotive paint classes. This chrome-related series is a departure from Satterlee’s more familiar fine art fogscape photos. In addition to the Gallery Show, ARTHOUSE resident artists will open their studios to the public on Second Saturday, October 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
