Jackson Fine Art is proud to present two solo exhibitions by native Atlantans Tierney Gearon and Todd Murphy. Jackson Fine Art will also be partnering with Atlanta Celebrates Photography by presenting keynote lecturer and artist Tierney Gearon at the High Museum’s Hill Auditorium, Thursday October 29, at 7:00.
West Coast based famed photographer Tierney Gearon creates deeply personal and autobiographical photographs of her family and is best known for her highly acclaimed and publicized work included in the exhibition I am a Camera, at Saatchi gallery, London in 2001. In 2006, her second major body of work, The Mother Project became the subject of a documentary film and a book titled Daddy, where are you? was published later that year.
Gearon`s newest work titled EXPLOSURE, is a continuation of her personal investigation of home and family. Instead of taking single shots Gearon photographs surprising, chance-narratives using the technique of double exposure in camera. By superimposing two unrelated images into one, Gearon composes narratives that are surreal and engaging yet fleeting and ephemeral.
In conjunction with Gearon, Jackson Fine Art is honored to present established artist Todd Murphy’s large-scale photographs from his new series titled Sovereign Tree. Primarily known for his paintings and sculptures, Murphy’s work can be described as having “underlying artistic themes of metamorphosis, illusion, and life-in-the moment.” Through constantly reinventing the mediums that he employs, Murphy does not conform strictly to one, however, he has used photography as the foundation of his work throughout his career seen in his paintings and as studies for his sculptural work.
Through Jan. 16th, 2010.
