Lynn Geesaman Exhibition
Yancey Richardson Gallery
This event has ended.
The Yancey Richardson Gallery announces an exhibition of recent large-scale color photographs by Lynn Geesaman in which the artist continues to explore the intersection of nature and artifice in the cultivated landscape.
Working in France, England and the United States, Geesaman’s idealized settings are a metaphor for the tenuous relationship between man and nature. Utilizing a technique of diffusion that gives her images a delicate, dewy patina, Geesaman’s constructed environments are awash in the ethereal play of color and light. Civilization is merely alluded to by the inclusion of precisely trimmed hedges and long alleys of trees, preserving an out-of-time, utopian quality in the works.
The exhibition includes photographs made in two of France’s most famous gardens - Versailles and Parc de Sceaux - located just outside Paris. Additionally, Geesaman returned to the sites of her seminal color work - Bernheim Arboretum in Kentucky and Avery Island, Louisiana - to produce new images of lush natural environments that starkly contrast the manicured gardens of France. The exhibition also includes work from Isabella Plantation, a woodland garden within London’s Richmond Park.
