Anne Schwalbe “The Life Within”
L. Parker Stephenson Photographs
This event has ended.
L. Parker Stephenson Photographs presents the first solo exhibition in the U.S. of photographs by German artist Anne Schwalbe. Based in Berlin, Schwalbe (b. 1974) has been making color work of natural landscapes and interiors since the early aughts. Interested in the darkroom process and its results, she makes her own Type C prints in both intimate and larger scales.
Quiet. Thoughtful. Delicate. Simple on first appearance yet layered. Schwalbe’s images awaken the senses and invite extended inspection. The landscapes and silent moments illustrate the poetry of seeing. They trigger the imagination: childhood memories, mysteries, or foreboding fairytales.
Gently taking our hand the artist leads us through a pine forest to the lakeshore’s edge where dawn’s mist rises; we pass through golden beams of sun before reaching the crunchy snow accented with the brittle twigs of fall. Hers is the eye of a curious child and an adult’s meditation on life, both of which serve as reminders of what is precious to us all.
Schwalbe has self-published four artist books, three of which will be available for purchase at the Gallery during the exhibition. Her photographs and books have been featured in exhibitions and art fairs around the world including Amsterdam, Australia, Kassel, London, New York, Paris, South Korea, Tokyo, Toronto, Vienna and Zurich among others. Her work is in the collection of Foam in Amsterdam.
