Shelter Island
January 22 — March 5, 2016
Brussels
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present Shelter Island, an exhibition of new photography by Roe Ethridge. The exhibition presents a body of work made during a summer stay at the eastern end of Long Island, New York. Effortlessly employing an array of classic photographic genres–from portraiture to still life to landscape–Ethridge captures his subjects and surrounding environment in vivid, intimate detail. The artist combines the glossy, prefabricated effect of commercial photography with the perspective of fine art photography to create works at once familiar and uncanny, nostalgic and distinctly contemporary.
