Tom Griggs Empathic Spaces

The work of the Colombian artist Tom Griggs draws on a variety of familiar sources: snapshots, the family album, mass media imagery… through which to create spaces of shared exploration. The images he selects are carefully edited and sequenced, sometimes with the addition of words or phrases. They do not so much recount a story as create the visual equivalent of a prose poem in which images are juxtaposed in ways that evoke rather than narrate. Here, what draws the viewer in is not the familiarity of the images themselves, but the familiarity of the underlying desire to reach through photographs to another time, another place. And, in this elsewhere, to seek meanings that elude us in the here and now.

Tom Griggs discusses his distinctive way of evoking stories through the sequencing of vernacular imagery – at Talking Pictures.

Lori Nix & Kathleen Gerber What If…

Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber create miniature dioramas, conjuring in each a prescient sense of possibility. Early scenes played along the ticklish midriff of cute and disturbing, evoking a smile and a wince as a plane crashes into a Kansas homestead or God smites a revivalist tent with a well-aimed thunderbolt. But over the years, as the work has evolved, the scenes have become ever more elaborate: full of detail but empty of people. The ruins of empire in which we leave the guilty thrill of the disaster movie to enter the world-building of speculative fiction: of what if…

The artists discuss the concepts, creative process, and months of meticulous craft that lie behind each of their diminutive scenarios – at Talking Pictures.

Oliver Raschka The Odyssey of Youth

The captivating photographs of Oliver Raschka document the life of his two sons as they grow from infancy to teenage. His images of boyhood and early adolescence are deeply resonant yet tantalisingly uncertain. It is as if we recognise the scenes we see – the energy, the interaction, the quicksilver of emotion – and yet can only imagine how it might feel once more to be a child or begin the journey into adolescence. And it is this that gives these images their emotional pull. They ask us to enter the dance of memory and childhood once more; to feel the rhythm of the past even as the steps that might lead us back elude us. For Oliver Raschka does not frame the images according to an adult memory of childhood, but simply observes and records what comes to pass. And, in that transparency of intent, catches in the moment a glinting flash of that distant place of childhood from whence the odyssey of adolescence begins.

Oliver Raschka discusses the importance of unobtrusive observation at Talking Pictures.

Elaine Duigenan The Pursuit of Clarity

Elaine Duigenan has a longstanding connection with Wellcome Collection in London, a free museum and library that aims to challenge how we all think and feel about health. Those projects have covered subjects as diverse as forensics, miracles and charms, and outsider art.

In this interview she discusses work that brings a poetic precision to such diverse subject matter as the structure of plants, zoological specimens in a natural history museum, nylon stockings, and the silvery trails left by snails. Here, even the most seemingly mundane subjects come to life and reveal subtle and sometimes eccentric qualities one might easily miss without this detailed way of seeing.

You can read more about Elaine Duigenan’s work – and how one of her images made it to the International Space Station – at Talking Pictures.

William Ropp

The Beholding Eye

William Ropp’s images have a unique signature. They could not have been made by anyone else. They are hard to set within the art-historical taxonomy, which is perhaps because he did not attend art school. He received no formal training that would direct his creativity along established paths. Instead, he began, quite literally, in the dark, building his own iconographic language from light itself.

Many of his images have an otherworldly quality that expressly lifts the subject out of the quotidian and into a place removed. A place where being is momentarily freed from the narrative web of the here and now. These are intensely personal images. They invite you in to consider one human being beheld by another in ways that make no pretence of objectivity. Each is self-contained, a glimpse of immanent connection.

William Ropp sheds light on the genesis of his idiosyncratic imagery at Talking Pictures.

Mike Gray Macho Confessions

We judge by appearances and, sometimes, that is also how we judge ourselves… It is this complicit relationship we have with the social conventions of being and appearing – and in this case, of being and appearing a man – that the Australian artist Mike Gray evokes in two photographic series made more than twenty years apart. Both share the title ‘Macho Confessions’, the latter bearing the qualifier ‘II’. The first responded to events the artist had experienced, the second explores the possibilities of what might have been. Both involve image-making technologies that, at the time of making, were relatively new: Photoshop and, later, artificial intelligence. Nascent processes through which he could examine aspects of himself in the objective lens of satire. Humour holding the intimate at one remove. Plausible deniability…

Mike Gray enters the confessional at Talking Pictures.

Won Seoung Won

In the Realm of the Mind’s Eye

It is Won Seoung Won’s ability to create complex scenarios portraying a personal sensibility that mark out her aesthetically seductive oeuvre. She achieves this through the recombination of photographic fragments garnered from the everyday – hundreds and hundreds of them… As with dreams, her images distil episodes from real life to depict her conceptual and affective analysis in the form of allegory. Animals and birds, trees and rocks, whole landscapes become a lexicon through which to recount stories that speak to the challenges of being and feeling, of remembering and reinterpreting. Of connecting with and understanding others.

Won Seoung Won discusses the craft and the symbolism behind her work at Talking Pictures.

Roberto Fernandez Ibanez Renaissance Man

Roberto Fernández Ibáñez is artist and artisan, exploring ideas with his eyes and with his hands; with his mind and with his heart. Amid the contemporary swirl of superficial visual stimulation, he stands against the flow. Where others specialise, he embraces many disciplines. When others rush, he determines to remain slow. While others seek fame before the many, he looks to the quality of human connection. In the Age of the Digital, he innovates through the craft of the analogue. In a world of specialists and celebrities; of instant communication and quick fixes, Roberto Fernandez Ibanez asks us to slow down and reflect upon the deeper meaning of life and the conundrum of our very existence.

Roberto Fernández Ibáñez speaks about his artmaking and his philosophy at Talking Pictures.
