Jeffrey Conley Art

American

Jeffrey Conley describes his crisp black-and-white photographs of natural phenomena as “meditative” experiences. In the meditation world, one of the most common metaphors used to characterize a human being’s relationship to consciousness is that of waves on the ocean: Consciousness itself is the ocean, and every thought, sensation, emotion and even the idea of a stand-alone self is a wave, still part of the vast body of water yet minuscule in comparison to it.

Conley’s contemplative 2001 photograph Figure and Tide is, indeed, an image of a sparkling, wide-open Pacific Ocean as well as gently undulating waves. But something even smaller grabs the viewer’s attention here: a tiny female figure standing where the water meets the shore. It is reminiscent of Chinese Taoist and Chan Buddhist ink paintings, in which lone monks or sages are dwarfed by the surrounding landscape to show that humankind is a part of nature, not separate from it.

To get the shot, the Oregon-based photographer perched on one of Big Sur, California’s famous cliffs on a sunny afternoon, aiming his Hasselblad 500C down at the sea below. “I was captivated with the play of light on water and the rhythmic patterns of the wave sets,” he has recalled. “As I was looking through the camera, I noticed a beach walker come into the scene. At first, I was not happy to have a person in there. Then, it all happened very quickly. Just as the white surf encircled her, she turned in perfect profile to gaze out at the ocean.”

Decades after Conley captured this perfect moment, a platinum-palladium print of Figure and Tide went on view in 2023’s “A Beautiful World: The Power of Nature,” at Peter Fetterman Gallery, in Santa Monica. The exhibition brought together striking, monochromatic landscape photos by such pioneers of the form as Ansel Adams, Charles Scowen, Isaiah West Taber and John Edward Sache, alongside contemporary masters like Sebastião Salgado, Pentti Sammallahti, Cig Harvey and Conley.

California Theater Marquee, Los Angeles
By Thomas Michael Alleman
Located in Hudson, NY

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 edition of the photograph. ABOUT: Since the inception of Sunshine & Noir in 2001, Alleman has shot extensively in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and other American cities. In his latest iteration Alleman takes a detour beyond the frenetic landscapes of urban America into Paris - playfully guiding the viewer through a simultaneously familiar and foreign geography. In the exhibition, square and panoramic landscapes and iconic landmarks stretch across the gallery, where Alleman creates intrigue by re-expressing instantly recognizable subjects. Images with blurred, vignetted edges epitomize his surrealist style, haunting throughout the series. His artful mastery at capturing movement is seen in the invitational image, San Fernando Valley, LA, where a van is swallowed by a mass of twisted bicycles. The blurred clouds above give the illusion that the broken down vehicle is actually racing down the highway. This interesting paradox of a decrepit van seemingly in lively motion reflects Alleman’s trademark style - quirky, humorous, and often nostalgic. His love for the ironic and misplaced becomes further evident in the panoramic California Theater Marquee...

ABOUT: In the hazy, warm New York summer, little is more refreshing than reclining on the beach in the mist of the icy ocean waves or enjoying a family trip to the country house. Each summer, Rice curates her favorite show, the Summertime Salon, which reminds us of this exact seasonal sentiment. The two, long walls of the gallery become mosaicked, top to bottom, side to side, in photographs that evoke all the preeminent feelings and memories of summer. Each year, the Summertime Salon matures and Rice’s annual masterpiece comes into fruition. This year is no exception. The show is a haven of what the Robin Rice Gallery stands for, a community of art and experience. As the largest annual exhibition, the Summertime Salon is carefully pieced together, the results are staggering. The works of the 53 gallery artists come together communally, reinforcing the overall sense of unity that the show creates as a whole. In knowing the photographs so fluently, Rice strategically places them together in a way that will enhance the individual stories contained in each. Details from one image flow from into the next, elevating every photograph in a distinctly unique way. This year’s invitational image, “Surf Club” by Silvia Lareo-Vasquez, features a woman in a vintage sun hat reclining in the pool with a drink. The black and white image evokes an extreme sense of nostalgia in its cinematic portraiture and supple texture. Though the figure of the woman is tauntingly beautiful, the drink is the darkest tone, nearing black, and is centered in the frame. With this, we are reminded of the refreshing notes of summer and the utter serenity of taking the day off to relax. The show’s imagery is evocative of all eras of summer, thus any viewer can relate or connect to one of the images. As Rice likes to say, “There’s something for everyone.” One image by Benjamin Heller details a strong owl flying...
