About the Item

‘The Colour of Black & White’ photobook, 2007 Tony Figueira (1959 – 2017)Tony Figueira was born in 1959 in Huambo, Angola. At the age of seven his family moved to Windhoek, Namibia. Figueira’s passion for photography was first inspired at age 16 after picking up a school friend’s camera. He went on to pursue photography and writing by studying journalism at Rhodes University, from which he graduated in 1984. Figueira held his first solo exhibition, Minha Terra, in 1989 at the National Art Gallery of Namibia. Figueira was well-known for founding Studio 77, a photographic studio which he started in 2004 with colleague and friend Hans Rack, before being run independently until 2015 in Windhoek and then in Swakopmund until 2017. Figueira’s success in his career in photography was showcased by a series of awards and exhibitions which throughout the years depicted the beauty and intricacy of the human experience, the pre and post independence struggle for freedom and justice in Namibia and her neighbours, as well as the contrastingly beautiful Namibian landscape and wildlife. His exhibitions have travelled from Windhoek to Swakopmund, Grahamstown, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Lubango, Lisbon, Norway and Denmark. Figueira's work is exhibited in the online exhibtion 'Flashback' (2020) and was as part of StArt Art Gallery's group exhibition 'Look-see' in 2018.

  • "Seconds Later" Hand-woven archival photographs
    By Jason Chen
    Located in Philadelphia, PA
    This piece is an original artwork by Jason Chen titled "Seconds Later". It is made of archival pigment prints from the artist's photography that he cuts and weaves together by hand. The piece measures 34”h x 22”w and ships framed in the pictured 37”h x 25”w frame. In 2012, Jason Chen shifted his long-running focus on dry plate tintypes to a new process: photo weaving. Chen began using two separate images of the same person, then wove them together in a process exploring time, movement, process, and mutation. He has exhibited works in the series one by one over the years, but in Fragments, his 2015 solo exhibition at Paradigm Gallery, a full collection of these works were on display together for the first time. Bio // Jason Chen is originally from Guangzhou, China. He received his BFA in Animation from the University of Arts in 2008.
