About the Item
C-type archival print, edition of 25
20 x 16 inches unframed
29.5 x 25 inches in ornate wood frame with engraved gold detail
This Renaissance inspired photograph was created by London based photographer Nick Simpson in 2005. It is based off of the c. 1540 painting "Venus, Cupid, Folly and Time" by Forentine painter Agnolo Bronzino. Each figure in this photograph has a counterpart in the original Bronzino painting, though measures have been taken by the photographer to bring the image into a contemporary era. Simpson employs a brightly colored palette, primarily dominated by royal blue and ivory with touches of green, crimson, gold, and hot pink.
The photograph is paired with an ornate dark wood frame with engraved detail and AR non-glare glass.
About the work:
London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera. Hand painting, scratching and distressing the plates adds a patina, further adding to the illusion of historical provenance. These highly detailed visual narratives of the bizarre and often erotic nature of Simpson’s sepia-toned obsessions are finally revealed as a limited edition archival print. Nick Simpson previously worked as a commercial photographer and creative director, before embarking upon a full time career as an artist in 2011. He has exhibited extensively in the UK, but this will be his first exhibition in the U.S.A

For Scout A, Very Good Dog: Modern Baroque Style Floral Still Life Digital Print
By Lisa A. Frank
Located in Hudson, NY
Archival digital print, edition of 50
34 x 29.5 inches unframed
Lisa Frank’s new body of work produces complex arrangements of flowers and dark vegetation reminiscent of Baroque still lifes and tapestry. Frank stages, duplicates and then layers photographic elements to create work that keeps the viewer fixated in her realm of digitally manipulated imagination. In this piece, the artist has digitally collaged twisted vines, dried leaves, pink, yellow, and purple flowers, and turtle shells in intricate patterns to resemble a Baroque tapestry. The contemporary vertical digital print is available in additional sizes.
Artist's Statement:
I make large scale photographs that depict complex patterns. These patterns are composed from elements of nature and are presented in the form of traditional wallpaper...

The Chariot (Kahn & Selesnick’s illustrated “Madame Lulu’s Book of Fate” Tarot)
By Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick
Located in Hudson, NY
Watercolor on archival paper
23 x 17 inches in white-painted custom wood frame with 8ply mat
19 x 13 inches unframed
This whimsical watercolor drawing on archival paper was made by the creative duo Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick as part of their series "Madame Lulu's Book of Fate", wherein the artists celebrate the carnivalesque with a cast of peculiar costumed characters. In this illustration, a humble wagon, humorously dubbed a "chariot", is transporting an assortment of theatrical props and trunks. A close look will reveal yet another curiosity: a pair of bare feet supporting and propelling the chariot. A subdued palette of sienna, beige, rose and umber unifies the composition, and the artists' highly stylized approach adds an almost vintage...
