With Fall approaching, Jackson Fine Art is pleased to kick off the 2013 Atlanta Art season with two stellar solo exhibitions of contemporary photography by Southern natives: Jeannette Montgomery Barron, of Atlanta, and Jack Spencer, of Nashville. Scene, by Barron and Mythologies by Spencer both show striking works that demand attention of the viewer and document the elaborate personality of each subject with his or her direct ‘look’. Either from a celebrity artist taken during the illustrious art scene in the 80’s or exploring a secret held by a mythological spirit caught between the physical and the mystical worlds, both Barron and Spencer use opposite approaches to achieve an undeniable vitality and uniqueness that clearly radiates from their ‘larger than life” subjects. Specifically, Spencer juxtaposes his subjects against fantastical backgrounds and creates intentional colored markings on the faces and bodies of his subjects similar to traditions of tribal body art and the popular culture of tattoo art to transform identity completely. While Barron, with a more traditional style, uses black and white film to document the brilliant melting pot of artists and creative muses such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Willem Dafoe, and Cindy Sherman to name a few that were in New York’s underground scene in the 80’s—an era that continues to inspire and influence contemporary photography today.
