ABOUT:
Brian Pearson’s search of quiet moments within the ever-increasing calamity of the modern world drives this new series of images. The medley of black and white images is split between the figurative and the architectural. The raw, candid quality in his imagery inspires a different sense of place and time in each photograph, creating a collection that demands the individual attention of the viewer with each melodic piece.
In the invitational image, “Falling”, a shirtless man falls from a steep cliff above a dark, watery abyss within a dense forest. His limbs are relaxed as his torso twists away from the viewer, a curiously assured leap despite the unknowns of the rocky surface below. Because of the high-contrast nature of the black and white image, the man’s body becomes one of the only sources of light, literally highlighting this moment of airborne suspension. Pearson’s raw, intimate portraits are reminiscent of Bruce Weber, whom Pearson lists as an early inspiration for his innovative, at times controversial work during the Reagan Era.
Another black and white image, “Roman in Tub”, centers on the exhausted figure of a man collapsed in a dark, outdoor tub, surrounded only by an endless field of wildflowers. Shot in upstate New York after a long summer’s day of chopping firewood, the man’s bare arms extend along the rim of the tub, his hands resting inches from pebbles on the ground beneath him. His downward gaze casts a shadow over the water on his shoulders, which glisten brightly from the summer sun. Lost in his world within the tub, Roman’s portrait captures Pearson’s affinity for the freedom and carelessness of a solitary man.
Pearson’s enigmatic series of architectural images remind the viewer of the sparse geometry of Donald Judd's work, while retaining the romantic, organic components found in his figurative photographs. “Atlantic City Parking Lot” shows the top floor of an outdoor, hi-rise parking building facing metropolitan Atlantic City. A large slab of grey concrete splits the length of the photograph, converting the image into simple, geometric blocks. This repetition of geometric forms can be found in another architectural image, “Chicago Skyscraper”, a close-up, detailed view of the Aqua residential tower. The image contrasts crisp, curving lines of grey against dark, velvety blacks. The building’s waved structure reminds the viewer of the curves of a body or the waves of water, two subjects that permeate Pearson’s exhibition.
Brian Pearson is a fine art photographer, with awards from Photo District News, the Lucie Award for Fine Art, and nominations for the Black and White Spider Awards. A graduate of Emerson College, Pearson has spent the last 20 years working as a traveling artist, splitting his time between shooting photography and writing. A former resident of southwestern Colorado, Pearson lists Richard Avedon’s “In the American West” as an inspiration for his own work, alongside photographers Joel Meyerowitz, the New Topographics, and Jonathan Williams, writer of "A Palpable Elysium Portraits of Genius and Solitude". Pearson currently resides in Cape Cod, MA.

- Floating Bust, Brazil, 1997By Barnaby HallLocated in Hudson, NYABOUT After 30 years of only exhibiting fine art photography, the Robin Rice Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition featuring a selection of her gallery photographers and three visual artists new to the space: Erica Hauser, and Matt Kinney. The selected works of these well-established Beacon, NY artists blend with the gallery’s fine art photography. Upon entering the gallery, viewers will encounter figurative sculptures, abstract paintings, and ink wash drawings alongside fine art photography. Since Robin Rice’s move to Beacon, NY, this concept developed organically; the group exhibition is a fusion of artistic mediums inspired by chance encounters between Rice and friends at art events in Beacon. After spending time with creatives who've spent lockdown in studios, Rice carefully chose works most apropos with her edited inventory of framed photography. Through these chance encounters Rice found inspiration to create this exhibition unlike anything seen before at the gallery and curated an immersive experience. Maintaining her expert aesthetic, Rice has brought together a mosaic of mediums that seamlessly fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Kinney's collection of ink wash paintings in Japanese Sumi ink and watercolor paintings on hand-torn paper render fleeting glimpses of figures and animals as well as primal symbols. Tasmania Spiral is a hypnotic work that resembles a gyre. Also in focus is Hauser’s collection of abstract paintings featuring an alluring vintage color palette...Category
