Out of Time
Robin Moyer
31 May - 18 June, 2011
Exhibition on now and until 18th June
Inspired by the work of Robert Frank, Marc Riboud, Walker Evans and Ansel Adams and drawing on the rich legacy of the Farm Security Administration documentary photographers, Robin Moyer set out on the road in the early 1970’s as a young man with all the enthusiasm of that era. With his VW van packed with cameras, from Leicas to wooden 8x10s, he travelled as far afield as Florida and the Dakotas, and from California to Alaska, seeking out the simple beauty of the countryside, the quirky reality of life in rural America and the classical iconography of nature-as-form. Moyer’s photographs demonstrate a masterful use of light in its various guises: intense, moody, soft, calming and powerful. It is this interplay of light and imagery which raises Moyer’s photographs above the ordinary and his choice of presenting them as platinum prints which creates something truly rare and special.
