Beth Lilly
"Broken Falls" - Contemporary Composite Landscape Photography - JMW Turner

2021

About the Item

This listing is for a framed and mounted print. Additional unframed sizes are available. Beth Lilly is inspired by the work of Thomas Cole, JMW Turner and Paul Gauguin. Based in Atlanta, Beth Lilly is a conceptually driven photographer whose work speculates on the interplay of choice, chance and circumstance. Her most recent body of work, “The Elements in Four Movements,” is a series of constructed landscapes created by combining multiple photographs in a grid exploring the Classical elements (earth, water, air and fire). Focusing on how forms and lines on bordering images in the grid match up, Beth places each individual photograph to give the illusion of continuity across the multiple images. For each composite, she creates hundreds and sometimes over a thousand single images to work from. She feels there’s only one combination that “works” as a compelling composition and it is her task to intuitively discover that secret combination. In Photoshop, she alters the edges so that the transition is either barely noticeable or entirely seamless. In ancient cultures, the Classical elements were proposed to explain the nature and complexity of all matter in terms of simpler substances. Through these constructed landscapes, Beth’s goal is to make herself and the viewer more aware of nature’s elemental materials and basic rhythms. Beth’s work has been collected by the High Museum of Art, New Mexico Museum of Art, The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Metropolitan Atlanta Arts Fund and many others. Kehrer Verlag published a collection of works from the Oracle @ WiFi project in 2012. She has received grants from the Society for Photographic Education and Atlanta Celebrates Photography and is a Hambidge Fellow. Lilly earned a MFA in Photography from Georgia State University and an ABJ in Media Production from the University of Georgia.

  • Living Without Boarders Black and White Cowboy on Horse Photo taken in Mexico
    By David Yarrow
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Framed Digital Pigment Print on Archival 315gsm Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta Paper Mexico / USA, 2020 I took this photograph of the legendary West Texas cowboy - Ty Mitchell - on a sandbank on the Rio Grande. Ty stands 6ft 5” tall and my general assessment is that not much fazes this guy. Meanwhile, the location is about as good as it gets and is rather wonderfully named Contraband Creek. I was standing in Mexico and 20 yards across the river was the US. Every time I walked knee deep across the river to change a lens or camera, I entered America and then on my return I re-entered Mexico. I think I actually entered America four times in a morning - all rather surreal with this talk of a wall. I would like to thank the US Border Patrol...

  • "Chief" American Indian Photographed in Wyoming Devil's Tower
    By David Yarrow
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    "Chief" Wyoming, USA 2020 Large: 71" x 96” Edition of 12 Standard: 52" x 69" Edition of 12 This work is sourced directly from the artist. Framed Digital Pigment Print on Archival 315gsm Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta Paper Hand-signed by artist with Certificate of Authenticity Over the last few weeks we have quietly been photographing senior Native Americans against the backdrop of quintessential and emblematic American vistas.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Whilst we will be releasing some of the series in the run up to the Presidential Election, this is not an overtly political statement from us. We know that Native Americans have long had a leaning toward the Democratic Party, but we took this assignment on because it is relevant, not to be political.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There is wide recognition now that Christopher Columbus did not discover America in 1492 and the events in Minneapolis have accelerated the debate on the possibility of institutionalised racism in the teaching of American history. This is not a discussion we want to fully engage in - as we are ill equipped to add value, but I do want to celebrate some of the tribal elders I have had the fortune to encounter in the last month. Their pride, manners, grace and humility have been humbling. We have made new friends in the North.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ For this project we worked with Chief John Spotted Tail, the great-great-grandson of the fabled Lakota chief Spotted Tail. We spent two days with him in Northern Wyoming and he was so excited to wear the headpiece that only the most senior Native American chiefs like him can wear. His attire was emphatically his decision not ours. Their heritage is integral to their souls.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The ground in front of Devils Tower...
