Jeremy Moss | ON THE ROAD | Photography

Reception | Saturday, April 13th | 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm


GAS Gallery And Studio is pleased to welcome back Jeremy Moss for a second solo photography exhibition, ON THE ROAD. The show celebrates Moss’ recent additions to his ongoing exploration of nature detail and meditative imagery. The opening reception will be held Saturday, April 13th 2013, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

With ON THE ROAD, Moss continues to engage us with Zen-like images of nature and presents another opportunity to ponder the exquisite duality of the simple and complex. Moss’ artful mastery at capturing color is heightened by his dramatic sense of composition.

Merely hinting at what lies below the surface, images of pond flowers and lily pads are bold and graphic, exploding out of the ink-black background we can only assume is water. Adding to the aquatic dwellers’ beauty and magnetism is their overt iridescence and glow.

Black-and-white images of desolate roadways, steel-trussed urban-scapes, a derelict factory and a dormant warehouse invoke a sense of nostalgia, solitude and wonder at what was, what is and what might be. With ghostly highlights and haunting shadows, these scenes are treated with rich, high-contrast tonalities. Largely free from human form and appearing to be suspended in time, we are challenged to identify these scenes as yesterday or yester-year.

The aura of suspension of both time and space in all these images is enhanced by their printing onto frameless aluminum sheets or metallic papers. As these frameless elements find harmony with the luminescence of the metallic substrates, the ‘floating’ images are liberated from their two-dimensional confines, and we begin to sense that we are not looking at them, but rather peering through portals into other realities.

All images are editions of 25.



ARTIST STATEMENT |

The Moment,
A culmination of available light, subject matter and timing.
Being in the moment,
Design, detail, form, function, impressionist or abstract.
A moment; captured.


JEREMY MOSS |
Having studied photography and graphic art in the U.K., Jeremy’s journey to the artist of today has been a combination of fine art shows and editorial assignments.

His photographic, fine art limited editions have been shown throughout the greater New York metropolitan region in solo shows, juried fine art shows and group shows. He prints his editions onto frameless aluminum sheets or metallic paper in frames. An average size of an edition is 25. His work is held in both private and corporate collections, domestic and international.

Jeremy is also a painter and mosaic artist. His paintings are mostly abstract textural pieces that have a definite relationship with his fine art photography. Working mainly with open acrylic paint he adds fiber to this to build up textured layers. The latest work has been under-painted then painted over with acrylic and molding gel, and then this paint mixture is ‘pulled’ to create subtle texture. Jeremy is also an educator, teaching photography and mosaics at a local art center and heads photography enrichment classes at local elementary schools.

He is a native of Leicester, England and currently resides in Maplewood, New Jersey.
