Houston TX (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Tranquil and lush water photography will bathe the walls of De Santos Gallery (1724-B Richmond) this summer as Houstons premiere fine art photography house, presents The Lure of Water", an all female artist photography exhibit, Saturday July 2nd -- Saturday July 30th. The opening reception will be held Saturday July 2nd from 6:00 pm -- 8:00 pm.

De Santos will take you to the waters edge with this subtle and sublime photography series. From brilliant color, to subdued black and white photographs, this common theme is interpreted by the artist, each in a unique way. Featured artist will be Martha Casanave, Ann Gabriel, Amparo Garrido, Gina Glover and Karine Laval.

Karine Lavals and Amparo Garridos images are a celebration of color and the true lure of summer. Anne Gabrieles photographs evoke a quiet experience by the seaside beautifully accomplished by her Polaroid transfers; while Gina Glover and Martha Casanave use the pinhole technique to achieve a dreamier feeling.

The De Santos Gallery is owned and directed by Gemma and Luis De Santos who are natives of Spain and long-time residents of Houston. They commissioned Houston architect Fernando Bravo who recently won the 2005 American Institute of Architects Design Award for the building design. The DeSantos Gallery specializes in photography (including traditional and new media) from contemporary European and Asian photographers.

The De Santos Gallery is located at 1724-A Richmond Avenue in Houstons Museum District. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 10:30 am - 5 pm. For more information, please call 713-520-1200 or visit www.desantosgallery.com.
