Time Will Tell by Stella Gommans

Taking inspiration from the mastery of Dutch Golden Age painters and by blending this with 20th century photographers and their use of light, Stella Gommans’ resulting work is poetic, aesthetic, elegant and minimalistic. For Gommans – a former dancer and a largely self-taught photographer, nature in its broadest sense is an unfailing source of inspiration.

Ballade by Michelle Sank

“Ballade is a poetic homage to my birthplace, Cape Town. My strongest memories are of the Sea Point Promenade in Cape Town and its accompanying Pavilion swimming pool where I frequented the long walkway and its bordering vast grass areas through all of my formative years. I was born there, and my recall is one of tableaus transpiring through play, encounters and festivities. The pool, the walkway, the beaches and the green areas continue to serve as stage sets within which diverse performances unfolded.” -- M. Sank

A Man and His Horse

by Lieke Zweekhorst

A Man and His Horse was inspired by a spontaneous encounter on the Gambian coast, where Lieke observed a man named Roony swimming in the sea with his horse, Marischa. Struck by their unique bond, she initiated a conversation with Roony and learned about their daily lives, where they share a deep relationship based on trust and mutual respect. This poetic series captures the essence of their connection, inviting viewers to focus on the intimate relationship between the two beings without the distraction of their socioeconomic conditions.

SHOW + SPEEDWAY 72 by Henry Horenstein

Flag, Thompson Speedway, Thompson, Connecticut, 1972 by Henry Horenstein

Elliott Gallery is excited to announce the exhibition of living photography legend, Henry Horenstein. Focusing on two impressive, separate series of his portfolio, SHOW + SPEEDWAY 72, we aim to offer a glimpse into his distinctive and extraordinary body of work.

American photographer, teacher and author Henry Horenstein describes himself as a documentary photographer, focusing mainly on fringe, working-class and under-recognised communities. Exploring subjects of heritage and storytelling, he manages to offer intimate and exciting insights into different places and eras, such as the race car drivers of the 70s and modern burlesque performers of New Orleans.

Can Do!, Thompson Speedway, Thompson, Connecticut, 1972 by Henry Horenstein

In SPEEDWAY 72, Horenstein dutifully records and preserves the world in a small-town of New England in 1972. Inspired by the great chroniclers of the oddities of urban life, Brassai and Weegee, Horenstein documents the old, beat-up cars customised for racing, the nostalgic styles of the car drivers and their loyal fans.

In opposition to the rough and rusty portraits of the SPEEDWAY 72, Henry explores the neo-burlesque movement of the early 2000’s in his SHOW series. Starting in New Orleans, he experimented shooting legends like Dita Von Teese and Catherine D’Lish and gradually he dived deeply into the burlesque culture. To Henry, modern burlesque performers embody the traits of true artists – creativity, passion and determination to fulfil their vision of the world in song, dance, humour and narrative. They are different from everyone else, and they proudly show it. Living on the margins, the best of today’s burlesque artists – as well as drag, fetish and sideshow performers, have a signature vision, strong message and execution.

Jackie Beat, California Institute of Abnormalarts (CIA), Los Angeles, CA, 2007 by Henry Horenstein

 

Henry Horenstein (b.1947) studied history at the University of Chicago and earned his BFA and MFA at Rhode Island School of Design, where he has held the position of Professor of Photography since the 1970s. A student of legendary photographers including Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White, Horenstein cites these figures in encouraging his compelling approach to composition and subject matter. Renowned curators and colleagues, including celebrated photographer Nan Goldin discuss Horenstein's influence and talent that set him apart.

His work is collected and exhibited internationally, and he has published almost forty books, including two instructional texts used by hundreds of thousands of photography students over the past 40 years. Horenstein's legendary work has been widely recognised, the Smithsonian Institute listing him as one of the ten defining figures in the history of photography alongside icons like Julia Margaret Cameron, Dorothea Lange and Richard Avedon.
