Terrain is a collection of landscape images created using the Wet Plate Collodion method of photography. Invented in the 1850s, wet plate collodion is an entirely hands-on process that allows me to connect to each step. From mixing my own chemistry to utilizing my portable darkroom to sensitize and develop each image, I am deeply involved from start to finish. Much like the wet plate photographers that came before me, I travel with my large format wooden cameras, my darkroom and chemistry, and a passion for landscapes larger than I can imagine. Instead of a covered wagon, I travel in my 1979 Chevy camper van, creating images of the world around me that can be held and shared for hundreds of years.

Exhibition Statement

Little Things, a solo exhibition by Fernando Achucarro, consists of a series of large scale paintings that explore the inexplicable emotions that we as humans often struggle to express. Through his art, he seeks to capture the intangible. These “little things” we face on a daily basis can invade our minds and become much larger issues for us to handle. He depicts the debilitating fears and anxieties of the unknown; such as an unexpected illness or medical condition, the sudden loss of life, physical and emotional struggles caused by these heavy topics. Every piece in this series is a reflection emotions that we all experience, but find difficult to put into words.

Fernando Achucarro was born in Asunción, Paraguay on February 23, 1978. Self-taught artist since the young age of 10, he specialized in graphite, charcoal, acrylic, watercolors. He held his first exhibitions in several art galleries in his country, then he began to show his work in Paraguay in galleries such as Casa Mayor, Veronica Torres art collection, Manzana de la Rivera, Hepner Gallery among others, in galleries in Buenos Aires Argentina, Spain and the United States. In the United States he held exhibitions in Miami, San Francisco and Kansas City, in galleries such as the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center, Puerta Verde gallery, Botatadas gallery and Slap and Tickle Gallery, Jones Gallery, Zuppe Gallery and Mod Gallery.
