Contemporary Figurative Photography
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.
Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.
The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.
Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

"Front Back (at Sies Marjan)" - Abstract Fashion Photography
Located in Atlanta, GA
Landon Nordeman is inspired by the work of Garry Winogrand and William Eggleston.
Nordeman's unique point of view, characterized by National Geographic senior picture editor Sadie Quarrier, as "delightful, bold and unexpected," provided his audience - many of whom follow his work on his Instagram feed - with a fresh perspective on the world of fashion.
"Photography for me is about discovery and appreciation," states Nordeman. "It is a way of probing the world, and making pictures to satisfy my curiosity."
Landon Nordeman (born 1974, NYC) has photographed around the world for fine art projects as well as commercial clients. American Photography, Communication Arts, Pictures of the Year International, The PDN Photo Annual, The Best of Photojournalism, The Center for Documentary Studies, PDN's 30, The Society for Publication Design and The James Beard Foundation have all commended his work.

"Jackie, School Teacher, " Fairfax Royalty Series, Contemporary Color Portrait
Located in Gilroy, CA
Fairfax Royalty is a series photographed by Los Angles based photographer Rachel Berkowitz, documenting her neighborhood, the Fairfax District. The following excerpt is from her printed book "Fairfax Royalty:"
"The neighborhood, especially along Fairfax Avenue, has been transformed from its humbler Jewish roots of delis and bagel bakeries to become the epicenter of the LA hip-hop/ skate-culture scene: an ever-evolving, hyped-up mix of inventive fashion, edgy music and truly beautiful people...The Fairfax Royalty are the subjects of this study, in which I explore the concepts of portraiture in an age dominated by social media and its fleeting images. I contrived a scenario where I asked: Imagine if only one portrait was all that could be left behind as historical evidence of your life. What ideas about yourself would you project through the portrait? How would the image incorporate your personality and desires? Would the portrait be posed or spontaneous?...This idea was taken to epic proportions by my subjects.”
Berkowitz embedded herself in to the trend-setting society of Fairfax, and approached it as an actor would approach getting into "character," through method-acting. As Berkowtitz states, she used, "an anthropological perspective...[and] delved directly into the game of trendsetting, absorbing behaviors, fashion and musical tastes set by the street's royalty."
This experience was in direct opposition to her London upbringing, and forced her to see the dichotomy of these two lifestyles as they molded her career as an artist. Berkowitz not only created a series of photographs during this documentary project, but also produced a book and a performance piece during the process.

Strategic Air Command B-52
Located in New York, NY
24"x30" will photograph, signed and editioned on reverse. (edition of 5)
This photograph is from a series entitled, “(UN)THINKABLE,” the culmination of 25 years of Phillip Buehler’s work photographing remnants of the Cold War throughout the United States and Europe.
Buehler has visited NATO airbases, Cape Canaveral, the Airplane Graveyard, missile bunkers and silos (even within New York City’s borders) among many other sites that are historic, and yet hidden, forbidden, and forgotten. Photographs from this series will be featured in a solo exhibition this September at the Front Room Gallery. For anyone growing up during the Cold War the sense of dread of the world’s annihilation was all to concrete. It was evidenced in films like “Dr. Strangelove” and “The Day After.” Everyone knew the U.S. had enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world 5 times over, and assumed something similar about the Russians. For those not old enough to remember this built in fear, don’t worry (worry) it is reawakening. We don’t need another Cuban Missile Crisis to push us to the brink, the renewed tension with the Russians, and now North Korea’s recent entry in the nuclear weapons club is more than enough to unnerve anyone who is watching these conflicts unfold. Phillip Buehler is watching closely. Through this comprehensive series Buehler’s photos show many aspects of this non-war war. In Buehler’s aerial photographs from a military airplane storage yard in Arizona the repetition of the same model of bomber aircraft are so abstractly pattern-based that the overall effect beginnings to feel like a Middle Eastern...

Luke Smalley was an American artist known for his photographic work, which pairs a coolly minimalist aesthetic with a retro nostalgia. Images from his early in his career were inspired by fitness manuals and yearbooks c. 1910. This is not surprising since Smalley graduated with a degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University and worked for a number of years as a model and personal trainer. Smalley shot the bulk of his photographs in his home state of Pennsylvania, using real high school athletes as models.
“Exercise at Home” is Luke Smalley’s second major body of work. Shot in and around the tiny Pennsylvania town the artist called home, Smalley revisits themes of adolescent growing pains acted out under the guise of earnest athleticism. Teenagers engage in simple yet strange competitions meant to establish their standings amongst one another. Two youths practice boating safety...
