About the Item

Greg Mac Gregor's artwork incorporates official, declassified photographs from the Los Alamos National Laboratory Photographic Archives produced in the early 1950s at the Nevada Test Site during the atmospheric testing era. At the time, the US Army tested various scenarios with mannequins to adjudicate and record the effect an atomic explosion may have on objects within the test site’s blast radius. Mac Gregor skillfully colorizes these scenes using a style and palette similar to hand-colored postcards popular at the time. The color is realistic but flat, yielding a reflection of the era while injecting emotional content into the image. The result is a series of haunting, nostalgic, and dystopian tableaux.

Spurs sing in the quiet morning breeze as they jingle along with the rhythm of horse hooves trotting across the land. Cows weave in and out of Mesquite as they march on. The distant sound of cowboys whistling and hollering out while gathering the herd draws closer with every passing minute. Before long, an orchestra of bellows fills the air as the herd is sorted into the pens. The morning is no longer still. Soon after we are met with a beautiful dance composed of cowboys dragging, branding, castrating, and vaccinating calves. The smell of burnt hair fills your nostrils. Dust finds its way into our lungs. Blood mixes in with dirt, completely saturating our boots. High noon brings sweat-soaked hats while the sun burns our skin. There is no shade out here to find rest. The day continues until hundreds of calves have been worked and we're provided with lunch. This photo is a multiple exposure of over sixteen images all shot on the same film frame during branding at the Bell Ranch...

Located in New York, NY
This beautiful photograph is part of the "Water Geomaids" series which consists of 13 different images. It comes signed and numbered and is part of an edition of 12. We also offer other available sizes for these images (please contract us for more information). This piece comes framed in a white wooden frame (see image) The unseen need not be lost. Looking past the obvious and focusing on the lesser-known perspective introduces a parallel universe. Through using domestic objects and the human form in our environment, I work to orchestrate unique visions that are meticulously balanced in the ultimate pursuit of equilibrium. My goal is to inspire all those who see my work to begin looking at the world around them in a new way, evolving their view to uncover the undiscovered beauty in everyday things. color photography staged photography seascape photography pool photography
