Andrew Buck
Rockface 27: Still Life of Graphic Jagged Rock Cliff in Black and White)

About the Item

Rockface 27 by Andrew Buck archival pigment print, edition of 5 44 x 44 inches framed Print is dry mounted without glazing (no glass). Black metal frame is approx 1/2 inch face width and 1.75 inches depth *Prints featured in the installation views are simply to show scale, they are no longer available for sale. Andrew Buck has always been inspired by landscapes and their ability to embody both abstract and tangible characteristics. Photographed in a number of rock quarries on the East Coast, the series of modern yet graphic Rockface prints are examples of man’s determination to reconfigure natural landscapes to cater to our specific needs. Buck photographs the large walls of rock that have been blasted with dynamite and eliminates any evidence of scale to produce a strikingly abstract image. Light and shadow plays on the rock's surface, created a view that is highly textured and boldly contrasted in black and white grey scale. About the artist: I made my first photograph with a Brownie at age 7. My father, who had photographed and done his own processing and printing starting in the late 1910s, gave Brownies to my sister and me at the same time, probably to eliminate jealousy or competition. I remember being fascinated by that little black box, pushing the white button on the side and waiting anxiously to see the results. My inspiration is almost always the landscape. My use of the word 'landscape' is based in the writings of John Brinkerhoff Jackson. He went to the source word, the German landschaften, which referred to that which results when 'man' reconfigures or uses the land, in essence creating his own landscape on the natural landscape. It is always with an eye for the abstract. However, in many series, it is also documentary of a place. While the focus on abstraction is most evident in the Rockface series, the series links the two themes in my work: All of the rock faces I have photographed were created by blasting through hills for construction or for granite and trap rock quarrying. The images are abstract, but they are also concerned with how our impact on the natural landscape creates an entirely new landscape. To borrow a theory first voiced by the art historian Meyer Shapiro, the 'object matter' of these images is rock faces, but the 'subject matter' is abstraction. **The image pictured in this listing is framed in a custom black metal frame. It is dry mounted with no glass (or plexi glazing). There is a protective spray applied to the surface that protects the print from dust, etc..

  • Shirokuro XXVII (Black and White Abstract Photo of Lilypads on Water)
    By Lependorf and Shire
    Located in Hudson, NY
    limited edition archival pigment print, edition of 10 26 x 39 inches unframed About the work: This image of highly contrasted water lilies floating on a still water's surface is one is a series completed by the artist duo in 2008 called "Shirokuro", meaning Light and Dark. "The foundation for our work is the photographic image with the optimal quality of light. Selecting the interplay of composition, form, rhythm, and line is the focus for our imagery. Integrating these elements in the computer is the next stage in the process of merging our visual and intuitive sensibilities toward a completed vision. Different perceptual effects arise from recording the world in photographs as opposed to interpreting it in paint: Our goal is not to emulate painting. Conceptual work in all mediums has blurred the line between photographers who make art and artists who use photography." The digital medium has established itself in the natural continuum of art history and the ongoing relationship of art with technology. This work forces us to consider a more serene world while reminding us that no contemporary experience is unmediated; technology touches everything. The use of the computer as a tool does not create; it assists creativity resulting in a synthesis of disciplines to be realized as a limited edition. The combination of archival pigment inks on Crane Fine Art paper framed with archival mattes and backboards insures permanence in excess of 175 years. The creative process will always remain in the mind and the soul of the artist. About the artists: Stan Shire is Professor Emeritus and former chair...
