Clyde Butcher’s powerful black and white photographs explore his personal bond with the environment. Butcher wades through swamps, rivers, bays and wetlands using large format view cameras to create large scale photographs. The epic scale of his work lets you experience the location in a way that’s almost like being there.
Clyde Butcher’s Venice Gallery & Studio is located south of Sarasota in the quaint town of Venice. Clyde’s photographs and books are on display and for purchase. Because the location also houses Clyde Butcher’s 2000-square-foot darkroom, the gallery is located in an industrial park. We are located right off Venice Ave the first left before you go over the bridge onto the island of Venice. We invite you to visit his studio today.
Open Tuesday – Friday 10 am – 4:30 pm, call for Weekend Appointments.
The scale and extraordinary clarity of his work sets it apart as exceptional. In the tradition of the nineteenth-century Hudson River School painters, Clyde composes his works at pristine and untarnished locations across the United States, creating arresting compositions that distinctly mark him as the foremost landscape photographer in America today.
Clyde has been called the next Ansel Adams by Popular Photography magazine, awarded as a humanitarian for acting for the betterment of his community, and recognized as a conservationist for bringing issues to the forefront of public consciousness through his art. His photography transcends political boundaries, challenging us to work together to protect natural places across the globe.
