David Halliday
Rope and Side Table (Contemporary Still Life Diptych in Custom Frame )

2017

About the Item

Rope and Side Table, 2017 31 1/2" X 21" framed sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition of 10 Top 17 x 21 inches, Bottom 14.5 x 11.75 inches This sepia toned silver gelatin diptych print of a Rope and Side Table by photographer, David Halliday was made in 2017. Standing upright against a dark shadowed wall, the still life becomes almost portrait-like. The dramatic, sepia toned imagery with a heavy shadowed background is a beautiful depiction of a snake like rope and the curves of the side table's legs. About the work: David Halliday reaches into his archives of images to compile a selection of both sepia toned photographs mixed with more recent color works; each are iconic representations of the most ordinary objects of everyday life. Together they represent a fading essence of things quintessentially ‘American’. For the artist, beauty and nostalgia are pervasive, but lamentation has its role as well. About the artist: David Halliday first gained renown for his sepia-toned silver prints of elegant, meticulously-composed still lifes. His more recent color work maintains the same intimate and simple beauty but also creates a visceral connection for the viewer. Like a painter, he emphasizes volumes, balances, texture and areas of subtle shading. Born in Glen Cove, New York in 1958, Halliday attended Syracuse University and pursued further studies under the tutelage of Arnold Newman. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. In 2002, the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans exhibited a retrospective of his work and in 2012, he exhibited at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans. Halliday’s work is included in numerous public and private collections including the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the New Britain Museum of Art.
