photo-eye Gallery Celebrating 2022: photo-eye Gallery Highlights! photo-eye Gallery As the year comes to a close, our gallery staff is reflecting on some of our favorite artworks and highlights from 2022— work that has brought us beauty, inspiration and solace.

Chaco Terada, Little Fox, Sumi Ink on Silk, 10x7.5", Unique print, $1800 

Greetings! 

It's hard to believe that this year is ending, I think about the time in my life when "time" felt eternal. Now, as each year passes, I find myself working harder to hang onto the threads of each passing day. 

I started at photo-eye Gallery six months ago, and while I've been fortunate to have worked with photographs most of my career, it has been a joy to have the opportunity to collaborate with our artists — I admire each of them for their exceptional ability to capture a sense of reality shaped by their perspective eye and mind. So much beautiful work has come to us this past year and I'm excited to share new work by artists Beth Moon, Vanessa Marsh, and Maggie Taylor in the new year — I will also be introducing a few new artists. 

As the year comes to a close, our gallery staff is reflecting on some of our favorite artworks and highlights from 2022. The year began with an exhibition of Linda Connor and Pentti Sammallahti's work, a photo-eye Conversation between Anne Kelly and Brad Wilson, and an online exhibition of Beth Moon's portfolio of Baobabs. Spring and Summer brought us the beautiful exhibition of Platinum Florals by Beth Moon and James Pitts, new portfolios from Zoë Zimmerman, Siri Kaur, Tony Chirinos, and Keith Carter, Reuben Wu was featured on the cover of the August issue of National Geographic, and the exhibition Internal Logic by Maggie Taylor. In the Fall, Chaco Terada and David H. Gibson made their annual visit, giving gallery staff a day full of new work to admire. In this blog, you'll find work that has brought us beauty, inspiration and solace that range from interviews with artists to photographs, and exhibitions. 



We hope you enjoy viewing our selections and are looking forward to what the next year brings.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy end to the year!

Over the summer, Gallery Director Anne Kelly asked photo-eye Gallery artists for their thoughts on the belief that "Turmoil is necessary for an artistic Practice." Mark Klett, Mitch Dobrowner, and Edward Bateman share in Part One, and in Part Two Amanda Marchand and David Trautrimas chime in.

photo-eye Gallery New Images from Keith Carter! Jovi Esquivel This week photo-eye Gallery presents new work by artist and poet, Keith Carter! For this new work, Keith has created extraordinary photographs from explorations made during morning walks, a practice he began during the pandemic through the marshlands west of his hometown, and a series of excursions through the wetlands north of Beaumont, Texas.
Keith Carter, Egret and Crane, 2021, Archival pigment print, 16x16”, Edition of 25, $1600 

Again and again, Keith Carter continues to create transcendent works that leave us in awe! photo-eye Gallery is pleased to announce new work by the artist and poet, made during the pandemic, through the portfolios Ghostlight and Sky & Water. Known for his black-and-white work, part of this new series is presented in color!

For over 50 years, Keith Carter has created images that move beyond the literal through the use of selective focus with scale and perspective often askew, illuminating the intuitive meanings of a scene as would a poet. When asked about the development of his personal photographic voice, Carter once said: “I come out of a documentary tradition, but after a while, I wanted to put my own stamp on things. It became clear, to me, that the subject matter I really cared about had to do with a sense of place, of geography, of the animal world, of the spiritual world and the elements of theology and folklore.”

Transcend through the dramatic effects of light, atmosphere and color found in Sky & Water. Celestial clouds are reflected in bodies of water, obscuring the line where the heavens meet the earth, evoking the sublime qualities found in the landscape paintings from the Romantic era. 

Keith Carter, Lone Pine, 2021, Archival pigment print, 16x16”, Edition of 25, $1600 

Explore wetlands from the south in Ghostlight, where giant trees shrouded in Spanish moss rest within what the artist calls "dark waters."

Keith is known to embark on the occasional "Magical mystery tour," an excursion by airboat on the Angelina River in Texas, where some of the photographs from Ghostlight were made! 


Check out the rest of Keith's Instagram to watch videos of alligators swimming, where I like to imagine the artist made “Turner Clouds,” and read excerpts from photographs like “Illuminated Tree!”


Keep an eye out for an update on the upcoming monograph Ghostlight, due to be released this Fall!

In the meantime, take a look at Keith’s work on our website.

photo-eye Gallery From the Flat Files: Changing Seasons, Timeless Images Delaney Hoffman
photo-eye Gallery presents a selection of work from our flat files that addresses the passage of time and seasonal change.

Vanessa Marsh, Untitled #41, 2018, Lumen print, 20" x 16," Unique, $2100

Ah, yes! Here we are again, at the brink of the seasonal transition between a blistering summer and a blustery fall, one that seems to grow longer and longer with each passing year. Despite this extended timeline, summer road trips are still giving way to cool fall nights while "back-to-school" commercials ring out over every FM radio station. This is a bittersweet time for some, but here in New Mexico, cool weather sounds like a welcome relief.

This week at photo-eye we’ve curated a selection of prints from our flat files that speak to the passing of time and how we observe it; through the appearance and disappearance of wildlife, through the human process of aging, and, of course, through beautiful Southwestern sunrises and sunsets.

We began with a layered lumen print from our Photographer's Showcase artist, Vanessa Marsh, and we continue below with Keith Carter’s Fishbowl. Enjoy!

It is with this final Steve Fitch photograph that we begin to say goodbye to summer. Fitch and the other artists represented in this list are utilizing symbols and markers of time to remind us that temporal change is not only inevitable, but also often beautiful. Let that reminder take us through September, with our swamp coolers and AC units set to "high."

photo-eye Gallery is pleased to have on display a selection of silver gelatin prints by Keith Carter. Carter is based in Beaumont, Texas.

For more than 30 years, Keith Carter has used traditional photographic materials to create an extended portrait of the American South. Far from literal, Carter’s black-and-white images are poetic and enigmatic narratives that explore elements of theology and folklore, and have been featured in numerous monographs — including, most recently, Keith Carter: Fifty Years.

Take a look below at our selection of prints currently on display. And please contact us if you would like more information about the featured photographs.

I like small moments that are almost elliptical, that are not necessarily linear. . .they're natural things that happen in the world, but if you look at them from a slight angle there's more than meets the eye. — Keith Carter

photo-eye Gallery From the Flat Files: Domestic Landscapes photo-eye Gallery
Over the past few months, we have been going through our collection and sharing some of our favorite photographs by the many great artists we represent. This week, for our installment of "From the Flat Files," we introduce a selection of works devoted to life at home.

Over the past few months, we have been going through our collection and sharing some of our favorite photographs by the many great artists we represent. This week, for our installment of "From the Flat Files," we introduce a selection of works devoted to life at home.

While this selection makes no attempt at sociological objectivity, we believe that the many styles it spans have much to say about the different perspectives on the settings, rituals, and moods of the American domestic landscape.

For instance, within this genre, we can find the staged pictures of Julie Blackmon, Jennifer Greenburg, and Patty Caroll. In Blackmon’s Play Group, a mother and her children gather in a chaotic and cramped entryway — toys and children rest equally scattered on the floor. In Napping with Floyd by Greenburg, a woman (the artist in character) naps on a couch with a siamese cat sitting on top of her. In Caroll’s Bookie, a figure poses, engulfed with books in a home library in disarray. Reworking the domestic cliches of popular imagery, these artists examine the role culture, media, and history have in shaping private lives. Although their approach to the domestic landscape is different, they share the conviction that something important is going on — external forces are playing out in the private sphere of the home.
 
Patty Carroll, Bookie, archival pigment ink, 22 x 22 inches, edition of 20, $1500
 
Some of the domestic landscapes we revisited are charged with feeling, such as those captured by Cig Harvey and Keith Carter. In both artists’ work, the domestic experience is described not from the detached viewpoint of the documentarist, but from within. Captivating photographs, such as Red Jacket (Hanging) by Harvey (a bright red jacket hanging from a pink peeling wall) and Ofrenda by Carter (a dreamy photograph of a bird on a plinth, flanked by lamps and heavy curtains), are rendered with an intimacy that only an insider could possess.
 
Keith Carter, Ofrenda, 1998, toned gelatin silver print, 15 x 15 inches, edition of 50, $1800

Between these divergent styles, a photographer like Tom Chambers blends reality and fantasy, provoking viewers to imagine the stories behind his pictures. In Chambers’s Glass Flower / Flor de Vidrio, a deer stands on top of a dining table while a young woman seems undisturbed, or not aware, of the surreal scene — our sense that this moment has been concocted only draws us deeper into its drama.
 
Tom Chambers, Glass Flower / Flor de vidrio, archival pigment ink print, 20 x 20 inches, edition of 20, $1200
 
Other artists working within the genre, such as Richard Tuschman, revisit the domestic myth from the perspective of painting, cinema and theatre. In the painterly Woman with Book and Letter (part of the artist's series Hopper Meditations), a woman sits at the edge of a bed absorbed in thought, perhaps thinking about the person who authored the letter. The theatrical and cinematic image, evokes nostalgia, the loss of a time long gone.
