Oliver Wasow: Hudson Valley Studio Portraits

–

January 14, 2017

A solo exhibition showcasing the works of upstate New York based artist Oliver Wasow, who has been widely recognized for his pioneering use of digital compositing to create sublime imaginary landscapes. In this grouping of recent portraits, Wasow embraces a new approach with his sitters–family, friends and neighbors–who pose as subjects before a green screen background of virtual painterly landscapes. The resulting formal, yet intimate portraits evoke a romanticized patina of a bygone era.
