Jay Mark Johnson Swept Away
In his large-format photographs, the American artist Jay Mark Johnson (born 1955) presents sequences of movement.

« Transit », exposition de Tony Conway à la galerie Deschler, Berlin
The New York artist Tony Conway was born in New Hampshire in 1951 and

Though each of the various layers carries its own pictorial information,
they do not completely merge, but retain their i...
