Nat Martin: New Landscapes

October 3-28, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, October 5, 2018, 5:00-8:00 pm

On view in the Kingston Project Space is New Landscapes, Nat Martin's photographic journey through real and augmented landscape, characterized by virtual experimentation and the inspiration of historical photography along with alternative processes. Though Martin does not consider himself a landscape photographer, he always carries his traditional cameras and frequently captures his surroundings on film. As he developed this current series of constructed landscapes, Martin revisited his older landscape photographs as if they were found imagery. He employed a wide range of imaging techniques to reinvent the landscapes, bending the shots towards their opposite mood and creating surreal effects. Day becomes night, heat changes to snow, and visible film grain gives images stylized, painterly effects.
