James Welling
American, born 1951. For over forty years, James Welling has pursued a rich and diverse photographic practice. Employing a wide ranger of techniques, such as photogram and both monochromatic and color process, he adopts heterogeneous subjects:these include incisive studies of modern and historic architecture; ruminations on particular landscapes linked to his personal history; muscular still lives of objects, textures, and light sources; and rigorous formal abstractions. Yet throughout his work, thematic constants emerge — the interplay of light and color on form, the intensity of place coupled with memory. Welling chooses different formats to suit each project; his photographs operate at the crossroads of material and conceptual practice. read more on artist’s web site photo by kw
