The Douglas Brothers: SEE / SAW
January 13th – February 17th, 2017

Opening Reception Saturday, January 13th from 6-8pm

“The brothers combine a 19th century Pictorialist tradition with a contemporary sensibility. They relax focus and court movement, marginalizing light and celebrating shadow. Darkness illuminates their subjects. They began testing nuances of alternative chemistry and later, the stark permanence of platinum. Which brother pressed the shutter was never revealed. It was a true collaboration. In 1996 the brothers abandoned photography for film. Their archive was mothballed in a lock up in Londons Kings Cross. Their photography retreated quietly into the shadows. ”
