David Halliday
Fish on Blue (Still Life of Silver Fish on Farm Table)

2013

About the Item

archival pigment print, edition of 10 32 x 60 inches unframed, $4200 Fish on Blue is a contemporary still life photograph of small, silver fish strewn across an icy blue farm table on a crisp white background. The image is divided into two sections, appearing as a diptych, although the entire image is printed on a single piece of cotton rag paper. This image is part of an ongoing series of color photographs pursued by the artist following subsequent trips to Greece where he is inspired by the palette of the sublime resources of the Mediterranean. The clean, translucent pale turquoise table lends a surface to a group of freshly caught, shiny silver fish that sprawl across the table like a beautiful bouquet. About the work: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm sepia tones he uses in his printing. David Halliday started showing with Carrie Haddad Gallery in 1991.
