Júlia Pontés
Environmental aerial landscape color photograph: "My Land, My Landscape #9"

2017

About the Item

32"x48" edition of 3 signed by the artist (fine art color photograph) This aerial landscape photograph depicts the sediments and water interacting at a tailing dam. The bright field of yellow ochre, dissects the composition diagonally with a deep raw umber shoreline and lines of sediment water in grey and milky white trailing across the land. Photograph taken at Quadrilatero Ferrifero, a region that used to be one of the largest iron ore reservoirs in the world. Almost all of the top quality iron is now gone, leaving the low quality iron for exploration that requires even more digging and landscape damage. Júlia Pontés is an environmental aerial photographer based in São Paulo and New York. This photograph captures the intense beauty and the environmentally devastating impact of mining in Brazil. The human and environmental impact of open pit mines and mining in Brazil are often obscured by the region’s mountainous terrain, relatively inaccessible to the local population. Working in collaboration with a pilot, Pontés has been photographing from above, sometimes flying in forbidden air space to capture these stunning images of the mining industry and increasing awareness. (b.1983 - Minas Gerais, Brazil) - Based in São Paulo and New York. Júlia Pontés interests are influenced by psychology, social issues, and public policy, in which she holds a Master’s Degree. She worked as an iron ore trader, an entrepreneur and for the Buenos Aires Government before dedicating to the arts. Júlia Pontés graduated at the International Center of Photography in 2015 and she has been chosen twice for the Emerging Immigrant Artist Program by the New York Foundation for the Arts. She was a Photography & Media and a Video & Film MFA candidate at CalArts, where was granted a Lillian Disney Scholarship and was recently awarded an Allan Sekula Social Documentary grant. Júlia Pontés has had a one woman exhibition during Tiradentes Photo Festival, in a XVIII century chapel recently restored and two one woman exhibition at Museu de Cogonhas in Brazil. Júlia Pontés photographs have been shown in several group shows in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Guatemala and Buenos Aires. Her work will be displayed at the Art Museum of the Americas, in D.C. in 2019. She has a polarized practice that involves documenting stories linked to her own life experiences and, on the other hand, a self portraiture practice. In both, she applies experimental techniques, the use of different mediums and archive material. Currently, she is dedicated to a social and environmental project about mining. This activity is deeply rooted in the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais, that it runs in the blood of almost every single citizen – including her own. She has received a Harvard's Planetary Health Alliance award for her socially engaged storytelling.

  • "Water Well" color photograph, autumn farm landscape painting on abstract wall
    By Phillip Buehler
    Located in New York, NY
    18"x24", signed, editioned color photograph. A lush Fall farm landscape with greens fields, orange trees and red barn painting is contrasted by the placement on a highly distressed wall. Multiple layers of paint in various colors from teal blue, pink, beige, and orange are peeled and cracked creating an abstract pattern of color behind the landscape painting in this photograph. Time and age have created an image of beautiful decay with the cracked and peeling paint, which creates an amazing visual backdrop to the painting. The pairing of the two in this photograph compliment each other on a sensory level and bring out thoughts of nostalgia and longing. Phillip Buehler is a New York based photographer who documents the deterioration and remnants of neglected architecture constructed in the recent past. He is arguably the first to coin the neologism “modern ruins”. His photographs published in “Woody Guthrie’s Wardy Forty,” have won numerous awards, documenting the singer/songwriter/activist’s life at Greystone Park Psychiatric. He received his BA at Rutgers University and his MFA in photography at School of Visual Arts. Phillip Buehler has been featured in Art in America, The New York Times, Art News, The Art...
