Opening Reception - Ted Kincaid: Grids/Blurs

Marty Walker Gallery presents an exhibition of recent works by gallery artist Ted Kincaid. Kincaid continues to defy our perception of reality with his photographically-based art, while challenging our tendency to believe in a photograph as factual documentation. Although seemingly a plausible representation of reality, a photograph is merely an attempt to capture nature through its own synthetic constructs. Kincaid’s previous artistic trajectory included computer manipulated landscapes, seascapes and cloudscapes that, while not claiming to capture reality, were representations of such. On the other hand, Kincaid’s new photographs suggest the detachment from reality that occurs when translating nature into art, whether through camera, computer, paint, or other medium.
