Ken Rosenthal Now Represented by Klompching Gallery, NY. Exhibition Opens March 8
KLOMPCHING GALLERY is pleased to announce the concurrent exhibitions of Ken Rosenthal: Photographs 20012009 and Vojtech V. Sláma: Wolf's Honey.
From 2001, Ken Rosenthal's subject has been an over-arching study of time, collective memory, fiction and cultural iconography; as seen through a somewhat brooding re-interpretation of historic negatives and photographs-specifically imagery from his own family album. He presents exceptionally crafted photographs-bleached, split-toned and blurred-that bring together a range of associations that seem at once shared yet highly personal, unknowable yet familiar. Like memory, his photographs are ethereal and ambiguous.
These two exhibitions form an intimate celebration of the art of looking, the craft of the traditional print and the transformation of the overlooked into something quietly extraordinary.
Ken Rosenthal (b. 1964) is an American artist living and working in Tucson, Arizona. He has exhibited widely across the US and internationally, including at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, Griffin Museum of Photography, Etherton Gallery and el Cabildo de la Ciudad de Córdoba. His photographs are held in the public collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, George Eastman International Museum of Film & Photography, Escuela Argentina de Fotografia and several private collections.
