About the Item

Ebb Flow 8 by Ellie Davies is a Digital C-Type Print on Fuji Maxima Matte Paper Ebb Flow 8 is available in this size of 67.5cm x 90cm from a Limited Edition of 7 + 2 Artist Proofs There is a strong painterly dimension to Ebb Flow 8. While fifteen bodyboarders and wake surfers revitalise their minds and spirits in the bracing cold waters of the Dorset and Cornish coastal waters, the sky above paints a telling picture of turmoil, upset, and foreboding. The coastal waters are a muted teal, blending into a darker hue the further towards the horizon we look. Where the sky meets the watery horizon is a sheer, straight line. The sky is also muted in color; soft lilacs and lavenders play with grays and whites, and there is a hint of rosy pink through a break in the clouds which hints at a stunning sunset. The sense of something foreboding is conveyed to us through the upset sky. A dense body of white cloud writhes and undulates in the center of the photographic frame, resembling a tornado seen on a weather map. In the coastal Dorset waters, the bodyboarders are blissfully unaware of the imminent threat that looms above their heads; a telling parallel for the environmental concerns which we face today. In her new body of work, Ebb Flow, Davies situates herself on the byways connecting one ancient land to another. Between Dorset and Cornwall are the South West Coast Path and the South Dorset Ridgeway, two elevated byways whose routes to modern towns still evoke the ancient peoples that used them as vantage points and safe trails through hostile lands, as well as for sacred sites for religious rites. The hillforts of Chalbury and Maiden Castle date from the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age. Standing in these places the past feels close, but the contemporary human intrusion on this peaceful natural environment is evident. Man-made pollutants move from one landscape to another, sometimes visible, other times not. Always there remains a cross-contamination of one ecosystem to another. In Ebb Flow, Davies continues her established practice of impermanent interventions in the natural landscape in order to highlight the environmental concerns that exist. Here, in Ebb Flow, Davies responds to that invisible cross-contamination of ecosystems by her creation of false clouds that float across placid skies above these ancient landscapes. These clouds appear natural, but they don't belong; they foreshadow the ecological concerns of environmental pressures against an ancient world that teeters on the brink.

Newgale Surfers II
By Pete Kelly
Located in Hudson, NY
CURRENT EXHIBITION - runs through June 25th, 2017. Any framed photographs purchased during the show will be available then. If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current exhibition of the photograph. The Robin Rice Gallery announces a solo photography exhibition by Pete Kelly. The opening reception will be held May 3, 2017 with the show running through June 25, 2017. Pete Kelly’s latest show admirably showcases the lush greenness, diverse landscape, and ever-fleeting light of the British terrain. We are invited to join his excursions throughout the country as he brings light to the captivating, idiosyncratic characteristics of the land. He captures the oddities of the landscape; solitary figures bathing in sunlight, silhouette of a frolicking Great Dane in the mist, and subtle remnants of a bygone era. Kelly’s incredibly unique, picturesque editing style further mythologizes his subjects, he meddles with an air of mystery that defines the viewers experience. Kelly employs a mixture of a single image with layers of photographs of textures. The feel and look of the end result pay homage to English romanticist landscape painters such as J.M.W Turner and Constable. Kelly applies varnish and then uses Photographic Encaustic wax over the print. He encases the archival pigment print in beeswax and damar resin; tree sap in its purest form. These organic components have been found to have preserving qualities by ancient Egyptians, which replace the need for glass over the photograph. The impersonality of a raw digital file is alleviated through this process and makes the image a ‘one off. Combining modern photographic and printing technology with ancient crafting techniques, Kelly 
is the originator of art that is tactile, archival and organic. In one image entitled ‘Brabyns Autumn” examines man’s contemporaneously interruptive and complimentary relationship with the surrounding land, and zeros in on a serenity only manifested when man and nature successfully coexist. Small figures, animals, and dwellings found in the landscape are essential points of interest for Kelly. Using nature as a tool for fortifying scale and perspective, Kelly magnificently reinforces the grandiose essence of nature as opposed to the insignificant disposition of man. Kelly’s tiny subjects painted against a vast landscape offer a point of reference for our own trifling experiences and memories. Kelly's fascination with photography began at an early age. Born in England in 1966, grew up in West Germany. After leaving school he enrolled in a photography course with the Royal Air Force Photographic Unit, based in Wildenrath, Germany. Although this initial training lasted only six months, it established a life long passion and dedication to photography. Already an avid traveler, Kelly initially decided to return to the UK, to study Graphic Design and Advertising at Stockport College, before moving to America in 1987. After completing an Internship at an innovative commercial photography studio in the United States, worked as a Photographers Assistant; working closely with a range of photographers allowed him to intrinsically develop his own refined sense of aesthetic as well as develop and master photographic theory and technique. Pete has taught Photo Encaustic...
