"Brendan Pattengale photo".
Когда я увидел изображения гор Брендана Паттенгейла, мне показалось, что это картины в одной из техник масляной живописи. Оказалось, что это всё-таки фотографии, которые фотохудожник создает в Исландии, Боливии, Чили, стараясь найти места, где совсем нечасто ступала нога человека. При этом он смело экспериментирует с цветом, и, прежде всего, поэтому его пейзажи можно принять за иллюстрации к фантастическим романам о неких дальних, неизведанных мирах. Выставка его работ представлена в экспозиции "Young Blood" (February 16 – April 8, 2017) Fahey/Klein Gallery среди произведений других мастеров.
Brendan Pattengale (b. 1984) is an American photographer. Taking up the tradition of landscape photography to situate his musings, Pattengale probes photographic methods as well as the truth in color perception. His photographs are strikingly abstract, psychedelic in the way that they vividly depict valleys and vistas, yet they maintain a certain realism in the subject matter. Utilizing an unorthodox set of tools to capture his chosen terrain—Pattengale travels to the far reaches of the world to find new sceneries—he calls into question the role of the camera as vicarious viewer relative to an image making process that involves other mechanical and non-mechanical agents. As was said by Goethe in his Theory of Colors, colors belong to the eye; Pattengale conveys this in his images, which are entirely true in their retelling of light and, therefore, vision, while they are also altered in their process prior to the instant of the photograph.
