Image area is 12"x12" on a 15"x15" sheet framed to 22"x22". Edition of 12. Signed, dated, and numbered on the back on print and on back of mat.

Lynn has also created a number of signature art objects, such as her Eyewatch wristwatch, and her three-dimensional PhotoTotems. Her largest project to date is “Dreams in Transit,” a 10-foot by 30-foot public art piece commissioned by New Jersey Transit, permanently installed at the 9th Street Station in Hoboken, New Jersey. Jenny Lynn’s artwork is represented in many private and public collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, and the Norton Museum of Art. Lynn exhibits regularly at galleries and museums, and her retrospective monograph, “PhotoPlay,” features numerous examples of her inventive works. Best described as a "media mix," her artwork has been featured in “Photo District News,” “The New Yorker,” and “ZOOM International” magazines, as well as on book covers, for such publishers as Random House and Simon and Schuster. In 2015, an illustrated book that Jenny Lynn conceived and edited, “EyeBook: Sixty Artists. One Subject.,” was published by the fine art publisher Damiani of Bologna, Italy. Jenny Lynn is also well known for the widely seen magazine advertisement ABSOLUT LYNN, commissioned for the “Absolut Artists” series. Jenny Lynn was born in Tampa, Florida, and raised outside Philadelphia. After studying painting and photography at the Tyler School of Art, she briefly pursued filmmaking at the New York University Graduate School of Film and Television. Returning to photography, Lynn established herself as a freelance photographer and designer in New York City, and later lived in Santa Barbara, California, before moving to Philadelphia, where she currently resides and works. Jenny Lynn has taught and lectured at colleges, universities, and professional organizations throughout the country, and regularly conducts photo workshops in and around Philadelphia. “I think of my work as visual poems -- realms in which I explore the interplay between object and image, dream and reality, chance and design, and collective and personal consciousness. Drawing upon my backgrounds in painting, photography and film, I “use everything” in my art, and mix careful planning with the “accidents” that happen during the creative process.” - Jenny Lynn

    By Yuji Obata
    Located in New York, NY
    Listing includes framing, free shipping and 14-day returns. Yuji Obata Homage to Wilson A. Bentley #4, 2005 - 2006 19 x 13 inch archival pigment print Edition 3 of 10 Signed and editioned on verso *Please note there is some wear and tear on the frame as noted in the additional images. The listing is priced accordingly. If you would like the piece to be reframed please contact us and we will provide a discounted rate with our framer here in New York or at our Los Angeles location. Yuji Obata was born in Japan in 1962. He attended the Nihon University College of Art and currently resides in Tokyo. He has won numerous photography prizes in Japan, and his work was first shown outside of Japan in 2010 with Danziger Projects at Pulse Miami. In 2003, Obata was compelled to photograph winter scenes in Japan as he stood in front of Pieter Bruegel's painting "The Hunters in the Snow" in Vienna's Museum of Art History. Upon returning to Japan, he traveled to the country's northernmost island, Hokkaidō, known for its cold and snowy winters. As he worked there photographing ice skaters at a middle school rink and a local speed skating team, his enchantment with images of winter deepened. Traveling around different regions of the island in winter, he began noticing the varied qualities of the snow itself, and finally became fascinated with the unique challenge of photographing snowflakes. Obata drew inspiration from the story and works of W.A. Bentley, an American farmer and photographer who adapted a camera and microscope to photograph a single snow crystal for the first time in 1885. Bentley went on to photograph more than 5,000 snowflakes in his lifetime, and his technique was so successful that it continues to be used today. Like Bentley, Obata was obsessed with the challenge of doing something no one had done before – in his case photographing snowflakes in freefall rather than on a flat surface without digital or any other manipulation. It took Obata five years to achieve but his breakthrough resulted in the capture of pictures that allow the snowflakes to relate to each other in space and size, creating dynamic compositions and scenes. Obata chose the location to shoot the series, in the mountains of Hokkaidō, based on its history as the place where Dr. Ukichiro Nakaya did research that led to his invention of artificial snow. His most recent book "Wintertale" gathers his photographs of winter...
