About the Item
Expanding from the Sheep Meadow portfolio of portraits taken by Michael Massaia by hiding in plain sight in Central Park's Sheep Meadow, the project began in 2006 as the artist became fascinated by poses that people struck in their deep public reveries. He captures expressions, moments and poses that could never be asked for or scripted. By underexposing the grass and allowing it go black in his print, these midday full sunlight photos look as if they are bathed in soft moonlight..
Seeing these luminous, hand wrought silver gelatin and platinum/palladium prints rendered with excruciating detail and otherworldly resolution and full tonal range is nothing short of mesmerizing. Highlighted portions almost appear to be magically lit from within the print. Whether in platinum prints believed to be the largest ever made, or in silver gelatin prints with complex grays found previously only in a platinum print, both eye and mind are fully engaged. His largest prints are not viewed; it seems that one can actually “enter” the photograph. Like much of the best art, they compel your immediate attention and continue to delight and unfold with repeated viewing.
Gallery 270 represents distinguished photographers of the 20th Century and the emergent photographers of the 21st Century from around the world. We place particular emphasis on modern emerging photographers employing traditional processes such as platinum/palladium, cyanotype, and gum bichromate, where the hand of the artist is much more intimately engaged.
