Jean Kallina, Andrew Woffinden
Dillon Gallery
555 W 25th StDillon Gallery is pleased to present the photographic work of Jean Kallina and Andrew Woffinden in an exhibition entitled “Timeline.” Both of these photographers capture a specific moment in time, while exploring the inherent contradictions found within the medium of photography.
Kallina captures the essence of the picturesque in which she provides a nostalgic look toward an aesthetic ideal. With a reminiscing eye looking at times past, Kallina lets the viewer experience beauty and sublimity, but her photographs also function as a glimpse of seized time; thus making the viewer acutely aware of time’s fleeting quality.
After attending the Museum of Fine Arts School in Houston, Jean Kallina has worked on many collaborative projects with artist such as Julian Schnabel and David Salle. Kallina’s work is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Princeton Art Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. She currently resides in Woodstock, NY.
Woffinden’s photographs begin with the camera, but his final images transgress the fundamental conventions of the photographic medium. Through the photographer’s use of motion and the layering of multiple images, he breaks down the stark objectivity of the lens in favor of an abstracted subjectivity to evoke the innate quality of his referenced subject. The artist’s filtered images seem to resurrect the disappearance of the natural environment. While one image appears to erase itself, others images, with their sense of constant motion, never allow the eye to rest. The images refuse to be passive, rebelling against their own stillness.
Born in 1975 in Yorkshire, England, Andrew Woffinden currently lives and works in New York City and London.
While both photographers work within the recognized format of the photographic medium; Kallina concentrates upon form whereas Woffinden emphasizes movement. Woffinden’s photographs are made, Kallina’s photographs are taken.
