Shift, Tim Lowly, 2002, 40" x 60", acrylic on panel
One of eight works of mine that are currently in the exhibition "The Poetry of Content: Five Representational Artists" which is now at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art in Michigan.
In the series of paintings this work is from I was interested in restricting the scope of the images to ones to ones depicting my wife Sherrie with our daughter Temma on a couch. Most of the paintings are based on photographs that play with photographic phenomena (in this case a blur produced by swinging the camera side to side while taking the photograph). That is, I was interested in how such photographic phenomena might metaphorically shape the meaning / reading of the image. Further, I'm always interested in the phenomenological pas de deux that takes place in a painting based on a photograph: in this case the tug between an image produced by a camera in a fraction of a second and a painting that took many many hours to produce.
