Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce Lakes, Trees and Honeybees, an exhibition of new photographs and prints by Matthew Brandt from his series Lakes and Reservoirs, Trees, Honeybees and Taste Tests in Color. The exhibition will open on Thursday, May 24, and will be on view through Saturday, June 30, with a reception for the artist on Thursday, May 24, from 6:00 - 8:00PM. This will be Matthew Brandt's first exhibition with the gallery and his first solo exhibition in New York.
Matthew Brandt creates his prints using physical elements from the subject itself. Inspired by landscape photography of the American West - especially its correlation to the methods of printing and making images during photography's infancy in the mid-nineteenth century - the artist revives traditional photographic techniques through various production processes, including handmade papermaking and gum-bichromate. Whether soaking prints in water from the subject lake, or printing on paper that the artist made from the subject tree, or even using a pigment that the artist created from the subject (charcoal from the trees, gum-bichromate emulsion of honeybees), Brandt blurs the line between the photograph and the photographed.
