98ten Fine Art is proud to present New Forms in Photography, a group show of new photographic works by Sabine Dehnel, David DiMichele, Todd Gray, Matthew May, Kyungmi Shin and Rudy Vega. This exhibition endeavors to expand the convention of photography through both physical and conceptual measures while engaging the viewer with artworks that are no longer bound to the limits of the media.
New Forms in Photography explores the works of these six artists whose use of the photographic medium is more of a means to an end. These artists have utilized the media to create painterly works, sculpture works, works with cutout images, etc; no longer bound to the traditional 8 x 10 inch matted and framed image. These novel possibilities in photo imaging through new digital technologies as well as the technologies that have surrounded it, have enabled the artist to create even more ambitious works. The birth of a new technology, especially one that can be applied as a visual medium, has spawned new possibilities for artists.
Just when you think that photographers have reached the end of a well-spring and can’t possibly find new ways to use their cameras, New Forms of Photography proves that photographic inventions are still being made. This group show includes work by Sabine Dehnel, David DiMichele, Todd Gray, Mathew May, Kyungi Shin and Rudy Vega.
They explore, in their individual ways, possibilities that reach out to other art forms and incorporate the essence of painting, drawing, and sculpture into the photographic process. Dehnel turns her colored C-print images into painting-like prints by using lots of color and elaborate sets. DiMichele builds sculptural objects in small boxes, but when photographed and enlarged they become a startling expression of enormous scale. Gray combines photography and three-dimensional forms--a photograph on one side, the rear end of a horse on another--by juxtaposing dimensions in humorous ways. May layers together rectangular bits of photographs as he builds a panorama of a vast Dutch waterfront piece by piece. Shin transforms groups of people into anonymous patterns by meticulously cutting out each figure and turning the scene into a drawing rather than a photograph. Vega strips the image to its bare essential so that it becomes much like an abstract, minimal drawing or painting (98ten Fine Art, Orange County).
