CHRIS BUCK Born 1964, Toronto, Canada Lives and works in New York, NY ​ Eminem 1999 Ed 10 Artist Statement: For any serious photographer their best portraits are ultimately also self-portraits. The discomfort, oddness and frustration in my photographs are the evidence of my uneasiness. As I've grown more mature and more comfortable in my skin I've been able to recognize the struggle and vulnerability in my sitters, bringing my work to a point of collaboration with them. Where once I sought conflict with the subjects now we work to build something strange and wonderful together. ​ Public Collections The International Center of Photography, New York, NY ​ Books 2016 UNEASY: Chris Buck Portraits 1986-2016, Norman Stuart Publishing, New York, NY 2012 PRESENCE: The Invisible Portrait, monograph, Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany 2010 New York Portrait of a City, various artists, Taschen, New York, NY 2005 CBGB & OMFUG: Thirty Years from the Home of Underground Rock, various artists, Abrams, New York 2004 The World’s Top Photographers: Portraits, various artists, Rotovision SA, Hove, U.K. 2002 Hip Hop Immortals, various artists, Immortal Brands, New York, NY 1992 Shooting Stars, various artists, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, New York, NY Angry Women, various artists, RE/Search, San Francisco, CA ​ Awards 2016 American Photography Images of the Year (Paul Giamatti) 2015 American Photography Images of the Year (Lena Dunham) 2014 American Photography Images of the Year (Nick Offerman, Vice Office, President Barack Obama) 2013 Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers 2014/ 2015 (President Barack Obama) Communication Arts Photography Annual Best of 2012 (President Barack Obama) 2012 American Photography Images of the Year (Michele Bachmann, Presence Jack Nicklaus, Presence Michael Stipe) Lürzer’s Archive 200 Best Ad Photographers 2012/ 2013 (George H.

"Sista Annie Mae" is an original piece by Shawn Theodore made from hand-crafted paper collage and acrylic and archival ink on Epson Hot Press Natural paper on wood panel. Theodore delves into the specific experiences of African American families, capturing a longing for lost photographs, missing heirlooms, and vanished archives. Using a blend of traditional portraiture, found photographs, paint, paper, pencils, and digital manipulation, Theodore creates archetypes representing hypothetical family members, spiritual guardians, and ancestors. These boldly crafted archetypes inhabit an imagined macro-family album, offering a unique perspective on portraiture, connection, and community. Theodore's work aims to deepen spiritual connections and encourage personal introspection. This piece measures 36”h x 48”w and comes with a gallery-issues Certificate of Authenticity. Shawn Theodore (b. 1970) was born in Germany to American parents from Philadelphia, and currently lives and works in Philadelphia. Theodore was awarded the prestigious PDN’s 30 New & Emerging Photographers to Watch (2019), the Getty Images / ARRAY ‘Where We Stand’ grant, and a grant from the Knight Foundation for ‘A Dream Deferred’. Theodore was a two-time nominee for the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Fellowship and a nominee for the Magnum Foundation Fund. He is an Associate Adjunct Professor at the University of the Arts, a trustee of The Print Center, a trustee of the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, and a former trustee of the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. Theodore was announced as a two-time nominee of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Fellowship and a nominee of the Magnum Foundation Fund in 2018. In the following years 2019 and 2020, he was awarded the PDN's 30 New & Emerging Photographers to Watch and AI-AP American Photography 35. He has had several solo exhibitions and is included in several group exhibitions. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia; the collection of the Philadelphia Library, Drexel University's Center for Black Culture, the Mennello Museum of American Art, Orlando; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Walker Center, Minneapolis; the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington D.C.; the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas; and the Legacy Museum, Montgomery, among others.
