Peter Kelly
Bike with Empire, NY (Framed and Matted Photograph of Empire State Building)

About the Item

Archival glicee printing, photo encaustic This moody black and white photograph of a New York City scene was created by photographer Peter Kelly as part of his "New York State of Mind" series. Kelly works with a photo encaustic process that lends unusual texture to the piece. This particular photograph depicts the Empire State Building as it looms over a bustling avenue. A figure on a bicycle is depicted in the foreground. The image is atmospheric and slightly dreamy, with the Empire State Building seeming to vanish into the clouds. The photograph is mounted on a textured mat and complimented by a black painted frame. From Kelly's website: Photo Encaustic is a photographic print finishing technique, covering fine art photographs in beeswax and resin. About the photographer: Pete Kelly is a freelance photographer based in New York City. (The following review is provided by 'New York Artworld' magazine 2004: 'Pete Kelly, Robin Rice Gallery') Utilizing digital manipulation, and printing on cotton canvas with ultrachrome pigmented inks, Kelly blurs the line between photography and painting. His subject matter, ranging from images of the natural world (flora and fauna), to urban and residential landscapes, focuses on the individual's place in a given environment as expressed by his or her body language.

  • The Perambulator: Surreal, Vintage Style Sepia "Steampunk" Man in Ornate Frame
    By Nick Simpson
    Located in Hudson, NY
    C-type archival print, edition 1 of 3 40 x 30 inches unframed 54 x 43 inches in ornate wood frame with engraved gold detail This antique style figurative photograph was created by London based photographer, Nick Simpson, in 2012. Here, the artist exemplifies steampunk style with a standing man in a tailor suit with details of industrial machinery. Metal gears, wheels, and pipes decorate his uniform while a metal helmet provides ample protection. Simpson includes a slight patina around the sepia toned photograph's edge to accentuate it's antique quality. The photograph is paired with an ornate dark wood frame with engraved gold detail and AR non-glare glass. About the work: London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera...

  • Cindy's Shotgun Wedding
    By David Yarrow
    Located in Denver, CO
    David Yarrow has built an unrivaled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet’s remote landscapes, cultures and endangered animals. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is now an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "You don't get a second chance to work withCindy Crawford, so there was obviously a little pressure. I took her to a place I know well -the ghost town of Nevada City,Montana as I hoped familiarity with the light and the angles would help me. I needed as many variables under my control as possible on an ambitious story line. The one thing we could not manage or predict was the weather and last week it was cold.If Cindy was outside her comfort zone with the temperatures so low and a big wolf as a companion, she did not flinch. She is professional, stoic and game and it was an honour to work with a true American idol. She sets a high bar on so many levels.It was a big effort for her to fly from LA to hang out with me and my team whom she had never met before and then work in freezing temperatures with some big wolves. She never complained and took no fee at all. Quite amazing.Proceeds from the sales of this image -Cindy’s Shotgun Wedding...

  • #19, 1970s Nightclubs of Chicago South Side - Rare Vintage Silver Gelatin Print
    Located in London, GB
    A camera is a window through which a photographer interacts with the world, and it's up to the operator to decide whether his camera will be a barrier or a mirror between he and his subjects. In the 1970s, Michael Abramson chose the latter path when he brought his camera to Pepper's Hideout on Chicago's South Side. Following in the footsteps of his acknowledged influence Gyula Halász, a Hungarian photographer better known as Brassaï who became the pre-eminent chronicler of the Paris nightlife he loved so much, Abramson initiated himself into the nightlife of Chicago's predominantly black neighbourhoods. He was very much a part of the scene he documented on film, drinking, laughing, and dancing with his subjects into small hours and becoming as much a part of the atmosphere as the locals who frequented the same nightspots he did. - Joe Tangari (Numero Group, 2009) This series won Abramson a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1978 and launched his career as a photojournalist. Eventually the project resulted in a hardbound book, Light: On the South Side, including the Grammy and Mojo nominated album, featuring Chicago blues...
