Biography

British artist Damian Taylor Born 1984, (ENG) reimagines landscape photography through a fusion of traditional and digital techniques. His current works, created by scanning seascapes with a modified digital scanner housed within a bellows camera, challenge conventional notions of time and perception. 

The photographic work in this exhibition is a continuation of a series first introduced in the recent exhibition and book “Old Light”, a body of work that delves into the concepts of deep time, the nature of human memory, and the evolving ways we perceive and interact with the ocean’s beauty and power. 

While the “Old Light” images were presented on a grand scale, the recent images echo nineteenth-century photography methods like daguerreotypes or contact prints, each piece matches the exact dimensions of the image projected onto the plate during the initial capture. 

Each image encapsulates extended periods, ranging from minutes to over half an hour, compressed into a single frame,capturing the subtle shifts in light and shadow that occur over time. The resulting images are chromaluxe sublimation prints on aluminum, the reflective surface of which interacts with ambient light, mirroring the ever-changing nature of the seascape itself. 

Taylor was educated at the Slade School of Art and Chelsea College of Art, and is affiliated with the Ruskin School of Art.
