"Night: Chris Faust and Mike Lynch"
2000-12-15 until 2001-02-11
Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Minneapolis, MN,
USA
This exhibition will feature nightscapes by
photographer Chris Faust and painter Mike Lynch,
artists who for many years have produced work
that reveals the essence of the urban landscape.
Diligent explorers of the physical worlds, they are
both drawn to places that seem to stretch over
time–empty dock yards, railroad yards, industrial
sites, architectural landmarks, and myriad nighttime
haunts.
Chris Faust is well known for panoramic black-and-white photographs of
landscape, images often filled with contradiction and the enduring tension between humans
and nature. A disciplined and masterful technician, Faust achieves lush tonal quality
through a process called compensation development, which he learned from John Sexton, a
student of Ansel Adams. Mike Lynch has been recognized for decades as an artist whose
oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings display rare economy and sensitivity. He employs
practices such as 19th-century British watercolor technique, and has devoted himself to
night scenes since 1953, when he began painting in earnest.
