The Ruаrts Gallery presents ‘PRTL’, the first solo exhibition by young fine art photographer Alex Partola as part of the ‘Debut’ project. ‘PRTL’ is simultaneously the title of the exhibition, the artist’s nickname, and a reference to the key symbol of this project – the portal. Partola, who works with both analogue and digital photography, creates visual narratives that draw the viewer into another world. His works are not only images of buildings and landscapes, they are also an exploration of transitional states, both physical, from one space to another, and metaphorical.
