Bill Jacobson: figure,gound
March 16 — May 13, 2017

opening and reception for the artist, Thursday March 16, 6–8 pm

“figure, ground is linked conceptually to Jacobson’s previous Place (Series).
After exploring images in which rectangular forms were placed in a variety
of spaces, this new work depicts his interest in the undulating lines inherent
in the human body. The figures in these photographs look away from the
camera towards a natural landscape that becomes increasingly out of focus
as it recedes. Working with an analog 8 x 10 camera, they are depicted in extraordinarily sharp detail, especially in contrast with the softness of the
background”
