Roe Ethridge

Landscape photography and still lifes, original images and images borrowed from the print media, abstractions and illustrations are placed side by side to create a recognizable world which moves freely from one photographic genre to another – from documentary to the most formal photography.

In the last ten years Roe Ethridge has covered all the genres – nudes, still lifes, cityscapes, country scenes, portraits, collages, etc., thereby creating a body of work that strives for consistency by exploring sensibility so as to arrive at a powerful conceptual project. Ethridge’s work has been shown in a number of gallery exhibitions and has also been included in group shows, like the MoMA’s exhibition of New Photography 2010. However, to date there has never been a retrospective devoted exclusively to his work and one that provides an overview of the consistency which is central in his extraordinarily diverse range of subjects and working methods.
