PAUL KENNY

 

22ND JUNE - 16 JULY 2016

A new exhibition of camera-less photography by Paul Kenny will include recent works from his series Seaworks and O'Hanami - re-imaginings of objects found along the shoreline and forest floors of Great Britain.

• The concept for Seaworks arose whilst Kenny was scouring a beach in Mayo, Ireland in 2000 and stumbled upon a 7UP bottle with a message inside that had been washed up on the shore. The bottle had taken seven years to cross the Atlantic from Fado Island, off Newfoundland and was covered in thousands of scratches that had been left by the tide, rocks and barnacles whilst at sea.
• Inspired by the idea of nature leaving its mark on the man-made object, Kenny started cutting up bottles to create his works. Working without a camera, Kenny creates small plates or slides laden with objects found on his wanderings leaves, flowers, shells and rocks. Each plate is then scanned to produce abstract large-scale photographs rich with opalescent colours, which take on the form of imagined landscapes.

Michael Hoppen Gallery, London - Free!

 

The Michael Hoppen Gallery is very proud to present the first exhibition in the UK of vintage prints from Masahisa Fukase’s 'Solitude of Ravens'.
The visual narrative of the series revolves around the anthropomorphic form of the raven. Dead and alive the birds punctuate the work; lone birds reduced to shadow puppetry against the snow or dislocated flocks that mimic the grain of the photographs themselves. Although interjected with other subjects such as blizzard streaked streets, it is the recurrent presence of the ravens that sets the ominous and cinematic tone of the work.
Venue on Jubilee Place off Kings Road, London SW3 3TD
