Inhaltsangabe

Scott McFarland hat sich im Lauf der vergangenen zwölf Jahre zu einem der profiliertesten Fotokünstler der Gegenwart entwickelt. Mit seinen subtilen Bildmanipulationen und der Wahl gemäldeähnlicher Formate gewährt er dem Publikum eine neue Sicht auf die Fotografie als Momentaufnahme. In den letzten Jahren hat McFarland das Spektrum seiner Sujets erweitert: von seinen wohl bekanntesten Arbeiten – den großformatigen Gartenbildern aus Vancouver – zu Winterlandschaften, ländlichen Hütten und urbanen Straßenszenen. Shacks, Snow, Streets, Shrubs widmet sich seinen jüngsten, bislang kaum gezeigten Werken.

James Welling is an American photographer known for his color-filtered and digitally manipulated photographs. Throughout his practice, Welling often focuses on locations that were personally or historically meaningful, particularly landscapes and architecture such as Phillip Johnson’s seminal Glass House. He explores both ambiguity and skepticism while maintaining a deeply formal process that connects the legacy of Conceptual Art to the technical practice of photography. Born in 1951 in Hartford, CT, Welling went on to study at the California Institute of the Arts under notable professors such as John Baldessari. Welling’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, among others. He resides in New York City.
