About the Item

Edition # 1/4 This is the framed, varnished giclee print on Museo wax price listed. The photograph is only available for purchase framed. Quiescence - 2009 A mixture of portraits and still lives, Heal’s latest photos channel an older tradition of artistry with their classic composition, lighting, and out-of-time imagery. Frequently echoing Dutch master painters of the 17th century, many of the pictures almost appear to be canvases that have been allowed to accumulate a patina of age over countless years. However, the fact that these are indeed contemporary photographs subverts perception and forces the viewer to question what they are seeing and contemplate the creation process. Viewed from a distance most of the images appear to be monochromatic, but with a closer look, the subtle colors, especially those in the still lives of flowers and fruit, reveal themselves gradually and ripen in the mind's eye. Heal's portraits of a solitary female figure convey a dignified silence, as do the still lives, but a few of the images subtly confound the classical impulses of the series with more surreal expressions. Pears and grapes rise from the darkness becoming abstract, almost erotic; a pile of morels looks as if it could have been painted by Hieronymus Bosch, and taxidermied creatures take their place at the table with purposes unknown.
