Hardback. Zustand: New. Lightstream represents Nigel Grierson's most recent foray into photographic abstraction as he makes long exposures of figures beside the light of the ocean. Taking the maxim from Dieter Appelt "A snapshot steals life that it cannot return. A long exposure (creates) a form that never existed", Grierson makes beautiful images, which on the surface might appear to owe as much to the medium of painting as they do to photography. However, it is important to him that these are un-manipulated images straight from the camera: "From the outset, my work has been largely about 'photographic seeing' as I'm fascinated by what Garry Winogrand so simply described as 'how something looks when photographed'. Hence, a sense of discovery within the work itself is very important to me; finding something new that I didn't already know. There's a huge element of 'chance, and the embrace of the happy accident within this approach, which is a sort of photographic equivalent of action painting. I'm often more interested in what something suggests rather than what it actually is, each image becoming a starting point for our imagination as it edges towards abstraction".Yet what is unique about photography is that it always keeps something of the original subject. So there's a dynamic duality, a dramatic to and fro in the viewer's mind, between what it is and what it suggests. The marks and traces created by the moving light, at times have a simplicity like a child's drawings. On occasion, the residue of a human figure might be reduced to little more than their posture or demeanor, which then seems more significant than ever, a sort of essence, whether that be elusive or illusive.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Passing Through is a book concerned with nature, and our transient connection to it. Consequently, the human figure is seen only occasionally and rather vague, like something from the imagination or a memory. Nigel Grierson's visual journey through the seasons, treads a fine line between reality and fiction, in his search for abstraction and spirituality:"As adults, in search of sophistication, and jaded by the rigours of work, it's easy to lose the natural sense of wonder, and to take for granted the things that fascinated us so much as children. For Rudolph Steiner, the most direct route to spirituality for the adult, involves finding the inner child via the occupation of playing. For me, spirituality lies in nature, in its myriad of forms and colours, and in the elements; earth's chaotic beauty. On a personal level this book represents a journey; a return to childhood, exploring woodlands, playing in the dirt, finding little treasures and taking something home as a souvenir; the photograph.I once heard it said that spirits are in fact traces or energies left behind when beings repeat the same actions over and over on the same pathways. Perhaps that is why we can sometimes hear voices in the woods, even after the people have long gone.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Early Street Photography of Nigel Grierson (Founder member of 23 Envelope and 4AD), with an essay by the esteemed photography writer Gerry Badger. From Nigel Grierson, (photographer/sleeve designer and joint creator of the 4AD visual identity), and with an essay by esteemed photography writer, Gerry Badger, comes the first volume of his street photography from the early 1980s created while studying at The Royal College of Art in London. Here 'the decisive moment' combined with Grierson's uniquely minimalist eye, are employed to create images of great power, humour and poignancy. Pioneering 'flash in daylight' within British documentary photography from the late 1970s, onward ('a time when natural light was almost a creed' Badger), this award winning work, is finally published. In his brief introduction, Grierson speaks of his fascination for the 'paradoxical' nature of the medium, being both documentation and self expression simultaneously. He states, 'It seemed to me, that through photography and observation, there was the possibility, for the two great arcs of life; one of the outer world of reality / documentation, and the other of the inner world of fiction and dream, to come together with the single click of a shutter'. AUTHOR: Nigel Grierson was founding member of 23Envelope, responsible for creating the visual identity (producing album sleeves, posters, and videos) for the highly revered 4AD label (The Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance, Bulgarian Voices etc.). The work has since appeared in many international exhibitions and periodicals and has been acclaimed by the likes of Rick Poyner and Catherine McDermott as among the most important and influential design of the eighties. In the nineties, Nigel went on to direct many music videos and TV commercials, before returning to his first love, photography around 2000. While much is known about his commercial work, and recent art photography, few people are aware of his early street photography. Despite winning many admirers at the time, including Mark Hayworth Booth (V&A Museum,) Rupert Martin (TPG), and awards (Saatchi Award - New Contemporaries, Vogue and JWT Awards RCA), it has remained largely unseen and unpublished until now. Nigel's work (both album sleeves and photography) has been exhibited in Japan, Europe and America, and is in the V&A collection in London. SELLING POINTS: .
