| Jeremy McKane New Photographs and Video Installation May 12 – June 16, 2012 |
| Cohn Drennan Contemporary presents the latest series of photographs and video installation by Dallas photographer Jeremy McKane. Dallas is well acquainted with Jeremy’s body of commercial and fashion photography, and he was instrumental in developing the collection of Dallas art for the Omni Dallas Convention Center Hotel, working directly with all of the artists associated with the endeavor. And now with the Omni project completed, Jeremy has been devoting his energies to present the latest in his series of underwater photographs. Jeremy’s collection of underwater photographs has evolved over the years from a culmination of earlier tests to create contemporary baroque imagery, to reflecting the reciprocal influences of art and fashion photography. The cooperative contributions of designers, stylists, models and photographers required for successful fashion campaigns is noticeably altered when water is brought in as a creative element and partner in the process. Water is as unpredictable as the people involved. When Jeremy is underwater in a weightless environment, the orientation of the subject often gets confused. “It is a challenge to simulate how amazing it is to see this unfold before my eyes,” says the artist. “Since you cannot be in the water with me I do my best to disorient your perspective so that you look at it over and over to try to determine what you are looking at.” Sometimes the best way to see what he sees is for him to flip the image which causes the viewer to question which way is up, or down, and to be drawn in to the process of positioning the image. The utilization of similar techniques will be incorporated in the photography and video installation at the gallery in order to enhance the viewers’ perceptions and experiences with Jeremy’s body of underwater work. |
