Max-Steven Grossman Color Photography

Colombian, b. 1971

Max Steven Grossman explores in his photography the concept of our modern reality — as well as the objects and places that are tangible and “real” right now but may no longer exist as soon as tomorrow. He is best known for his “Bookscapes” series, which sees large-scale composite images working to visualize the gradual loss of tangible paper books and photographs to a world of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and the cloud computing and online archives of the digital age. 

Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1971, Grossman initially studied engineering at the University of Philadelphia, graduating in 1994. Soon after graduation, he developed a passion for photography and attended New York University and the International Center of Photography, completing his MFA in 2000.

Grossman’s unique approach to his still-life and color photography consists of composing large-scale works based on a compilation of images. For instance, for his “Bookscapes” series, he creates “surface-only libraries” featuring photos of different bookshelves, which he reorganizes around a specific theme. Composite shelves are formed around subjects like fashion, sports, architecture, business, film, and rock and roll, such as his Rock BL4 and Rock BWH.

Grossman’s photographs have been exhibited around the world, including at the Museum of Modern Art in Cartagena, Beatriz Esguerra Art in Bogota, the Museum of Modern Art in Barranquilla, Art Wynwood in Miami and more. He has also shown his works at several international art fairs and foundations in Switzerland, Panama, Hong Kong and Spain.

Redwoods (6 glass panels) - large format abstract nature forest panorama
By Erik Pawassar
Located in San Francisco, CA
a large scale photograph of lush emerald green nature oasis, a highly detailed observation of the soothing natural beauty of the California redwood forest Redwoods (hexaptych) by Erik Pawassar 48 x 132 inches (122 x 335cm) six panels of 48 x 22 inches / each "frameless" acrylic glass face mount edition of 7 signed archival quality fine art pigment print limited art edition published by Edition EKTAlux artist signed + numbered certificate of authenticity __ "Modern Gallery Frameless", a contemporary alternative to classic framing: photo print is mounted onto aluminum composite for archival support and stability, then sealed behind a protective layer of high quality acrylic glass with polished edges all around. A recessed aluminum back frame adds additional stability, allows instant hanging and provides a floating artwork appearance. _______________________ Erik Pawassar's work focuses on the beauty of the disregarded or mundane object. The subjects for his striking and captivating visuals are typically set in the most ordinary environments, drawing the viewer into a charged but serene experience based on composition, palette and formal lines. Saturated in color, the nominal subjects gather a haunting and mesmerizing quality, creating a poignant pretext for the making of a formal color photograph. Decisively capturing the traces left by humanity, Pawassar's images are filled with a sense of universal nostalgia and pay homage to the passage of time and the extinguished moment, referencing documentary and street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastian Salgado...
