About the Item

April 10, 1924 - Contemporary Black and White Photography Print 30" x 24" (HxW) Inkjet print on Epson lustre paper 1" white margins on top and bottom; 1/2" white margins on either side. Hand-signed by the artist in verso. A dramatic work of photography by artist Neal Panton, this contrast-filled composition features one hand against a flat black background, with its palm outstretched facing the viewer. There is a power to the gesture here, as if the person this hand belongs to is asking us to stop, allowing the viewer to pause and contemplate. Rings adorn both the ring and pinky finger on one of the hands, an extension of the body to who they belong. The camera has captured a great amount of detail, showing off each individual wrinkle in the skin in this well-weathered hand, allowing the body's largest organ to tell its story. Open edition signed print. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: Lifelines is a response to a world preoccupied with identification through passwords, pins and codes. The hand is the departure point for this project. Fingerprints are entirely individual and traditional proof of our identity. Including the hand-print and hand gestures the person is more fully exposed. Lifelines can be read, revealing the individual's past and future, while the hand gesture reveals aspects of their nature and personality. This is something our digital identity fails to provide. Participants were asked to choose place their hands on a high resolution scanner. While some felt friends and family were necessary to help identify themselves, others chose to go solo. By processing in black and white ethnicity become irrelevant. The fine lines in the image have the quality of an etching. What the viewers see is not only a hand portrait, but an impression of a life lived, left behind. The hands are titled by date of birth with no identification by gender, race, cultural background or religion. These hands should be seen closely grouped together communicating like an extended family, a community of hands. In these times of racial, religious and cultural disparity these hand portraits simply talk about us, the human race. About the Artist: Neal Panton is an Award winning Fine Art Photographer, an accomplished theatrical and travel photographer & portraitist. Neal has been published in more than 25 countries with 16 solo exhibits & 59 group exhibits in Canada, Europe, the USA and South America. Neal was born in Hamilton, Ontario. Neal has also called Toronto and Vancouver home and now resides in Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. Neal spent 6 years in Ecuador employed as a photojournalist for Reuters and as a Photography Professor at the Universidad de Quito, Ecuador. Neal’s photography is very quiet, like snow crunching underfoot in the dead of a winter night. His photography inhabits a wordless world where he shows you how his subjects feel when you touch them, how every detail and texture resonates. He invites you to discover your own unique connections to his work.
