Words & Pictures Lecture Series: Daniel Gordon
2019-10-30 00:00 - 01:00 | Houston Center for Photography
In concert with, Hue and Saturate, Houston Center for Photography is excited to welcome exhibiting artist, Daniel Gordon, for an evening lecture as part of the Words & Pictures Lecture Series. In this lecture, the Brooklyn-based artist will discuss the process behind making his painterly photographs, taken with a large-format camera and often digitally manipulated in post-production.
Embracing both the analog and the digital, Gordon captures complex table scenes created from collaged paper sculptures, which are sourced from internet-based found imagery. these works orient the viewer to a very contemporary perspective on the world that is distinctly interdisciplinary, straddling the virtual world and the physical world we live in through the ultimate machine of verisimilitude – the camera. This exhibition is the artist’s first in Houston, having previously exhibited in institutions such as MOMA P.S. 1 (Queens, NY), J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, CA), and James Fuentes Gallery (NY, NY).

Opening Reception: Hue and Saturate
2019-09-13 22:30 - 2019-09-14 01:00 | Houston Center for Photography
Please join Houston Center for Photography for the opening reception of Hue and Saturate, an exhibition of works by Daniel Gordon, on Friday, September 13, 2019 from 5:30-8pm. Curator remarks begin at 6pm.

Hue and Saturate brings together 11 works from New York-based artist, Daniel Gordon, for his first solo exhibition in Houston. Often described in the style of Matisse’s cut-outs or Cezanne’s still lifes, Gordon’s work uses shape, color, and size to playfully disrupt our ideas about medium-specificity, artifice, and photography in the age of the internet. Born in 1980, Gordon is squarely positioned in a pre and post-internet world. His tableaus break down classical objects found in still lifes into constructed forms and in some cases trace references, shadows, and pixels of flora, fauna, produce, and tableware. This emphasis on the digital construction of the image has a hide-and-seek characteristic throughout this show, alternating between explicitly revealing itself and tucking itself into painterly compositions of paper objects. While Matisse or Cezanne’s work might refer more to the shift from objective to subjective perception through the construction of the painted form, Gordon’s use of pattern, repetition and digital imaging illustrates the deconstruction and reconstitution of form from one reality or plane to another.
