About the Item

'9.11.15_3:20:17' 2017 by New York, contemporary camera artist Susan Wides. Chromogenic print, Ed. of 5, 30 x 20 in. / Frame: 30.75 x 20.75 in. This color photograph features an abstracted view of water, flowers, and leaves in a dark grey frame. Wides made this photograph close to home in the Kaaterskill Clove of the Catskill Mountains. After scouting for spectacular light, waters’ flux, precise leaf color, and geology, Wides constructs sets for her photographs by streams and rocks in the forests throughout the changing seasons. On-site, her process is one of call–and–response, as she works with the focus levels of her camera lens, the depth of her constructed set, and spatial imagination. It is a single exposure. NY photographer Susan Wides is best known for her color photographs of the urban built environment of NYC as well as scenic views and iconic places of the Hudson Valley landscape where she maintains a studio. Susan's photographs convey the experience of not merely being in a place, but of immersing oneself deeply in nature, almost as a sensory experience. She creates a unique visualization of a site using a language of the lens both with her approach to the subjects of her investigations and the methods of selective focus she has innovated and evolved since the 1980s. Wides' work has been exhibited widely throughout the US and Europe. Solo exhibitions include The Center for Creative Photography, Arizona; The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz; The Hudson River Museum, Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, Scarsdale; Group exhibitions include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The High Museum of Art, and The Municipal Art Society. Susan Wides is the Director and Curator of ‘T’ Space, a nonprofit gallery dedicated to the cross-inspiration of art, poetry, architecture, and music in the woodlands of the Hudson Valley.

  • Balloon, Photography, Story teller, Hollywood, horizon
    By Tyler Shields
    Located in Munich, DE
    Edition of 3 More sizes on request. A girl with a balloon is flying into the horizon. Tyler Shields is an American Photographer, screenwriter, director and former professional inline skater who has been labeled by some as “Hollywood’s favorite photographer”. He is best known for his unparalleled, controversial, shock evoking photographs of Hollywood Celebrities. Shield’s images often incorporate violence and eroticism, such as his 2011 photograph of Lindsay Lohan in which she appears seductive while being covered in blood and holding a knife. Continuing to push the boundaries, in preparation for his Life Is Not A Fairytale (2011) exhibit in 2011, Shields collected blood from twenty celebrities to paint with, onto a canvas. Shields also appeared to stage the “shooting” of a party-goer with a gun the same year at a release party for his book “Collisions” as an appropriated piece of performance art en homage to the cans of Fluxus artist, Piero Manzoni. Shields is not shy to controversy, in 2012 he also released a photograph of Francesca Eastwood, burning, sawing and biting a $100,000 Hermès Birkin Bag for a photoshoot. Moreover, his series “Suspense” (2013) portrays and depicts stars such as Emma Roberts, Francesca Eastwood and Lydia Hearst frozen in mid-air falling and voluntarily jumping off buildings and bridges creating a sense of movement, adrenaline, and excitement. “Suspense is not about death; it’s about life” explains Shields. Rather than focusing on the person in the frame, these images are more concerned with the action, environment, and landscape. In 2015. Shields created the series “Historical Fiction” which focuses on historical events such as the deaths of James Dean, John F Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King among many more historical events. This series put the American Civil Rights Era at the forefront of his work, as these images explore dark moments in history with many of them honing in on moments that confront the country’s racist past. Furthermore, in 2015 Shields created his hit series “Chromatics” which surrounds the theme of “beauty in chaos” captured through freeze frames of surreal, technicolor violence with colored powder. In order to create this violence, he lined up 20 people up against each other and made them fight with powder. Shields’ talent goes beyond shock. His unique, sinister and daring lens through which he composes and creates his work enables him to push boundaries and experiment with tweaking the Hollywood mystique. The mystery behind his relationships and habits captivate the media, not unlike the art world’s best-known friend of the famous, Andy Warhol. _Photography, nude, woman, naked, story teller...
