Houston artist John Herrin's abstract color photographs are an homage to the significant 20th Century American artist, Aaron Siskind. Siskind's black and white photographs of cracks and tar in our urban landscape were a tribute to fellow abstract expressionist Franz Kline's bold brushwork. Herrin has brought this forward to the 21st Century by using an 8 x 10 camera to explore similar beauty, also in dramatic, painterly fashion, in color.
This is a sensational mix of documentary and conceptual work by established and emerging talents.
