Peter Kelly
Bike with Empire, NY (Framed and Matted Photograph of Empire State Building)

About the Item

Archival glicee printing, photo encaustic This moody black and white photograph of a New York City scene was created by photographer Peter Kelly as part of his "New York State of Mind" series. Kelly works with a photo encaustic process that lends unusual texture to the piece. This particular photograph depicts the Empire State Building as it looms over a bustling avenue. A figure on a bicycle is depicted in the foreground. The image is atmospheric and slightly dreamy, with the Empire State Building seeming to vanish into the clouds. The photograph is mounted on a textured mat and complimented by a black painted frame. From Kelly's website: Photo Encaustic is a photographic print finishing technique, covering fine art photographs in beeswax and resin. About the photographer: Pete Kelly is a freelance photographer based in New York City. (The following review is provided by 'New York Artworld' magazine 2004: 'Pete Kelly, Robin Rice Gallery') Utilizing digital manipulation, and printing on cotton canvas with ultrachrome pigmented inks, Kelly blurs the line between photography and painting. His subject matter, ranging from images of the natural world (flora and fauna), to urban and residential landscapes, focuses on the individual's place in a given environment as expressed by his or her body language.

  • The Perambulator: Surreal, Vintage Style Sepia "Steampunk" Man in Ornate Frame
    By Nick Simpson
    Located in Hudson, NY
    C-type archival print, edition 1 of 3 40 x 30 inches unframed 54 x 43 inches in ornate wood frame with engraved gold detail This antique style figurative photograph was created by London based photographer, Nick Simpson, in 2012. Here, the artist exemplifies steampunk style with a standing man in a tailor suit with details of industrial machinery. Metal gears, wheels, and pipes decorate his uniform while a metal helmet provides ample protection. Simpson includes a slight patina around the sepia toned photograph's edge to accentuate it's antique quality. The photograph is paired with an ornate dark wood frame with engraved gold detail and AR non-glare glass. About the work: London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera...
