Notes: Artist & Practice

Gordon is known for photography and sculpture that employs appropriation and reproduction in order to question the nature of the image-object relationship. Melding optical illusion, pastiche, mixed media, and a recalibration of analog processes, Gordon consciously reframes what it means to have a photographic practice. Gordon holds a BA from Bard College and an MFA from Yale School of Art. He lives and works in Brooklyn.

Context

Three-dimensional sculptures - made from collages of printed digital imagery borrowed from magazines and the Internet - and then photographed with a 4 x 5 view camera. The resulting images are interesting examples of appropriation art in that the materials and images are culled from other sources and re-used, while the subjects and compositions reference Modernist masters like Picasso, Dalí, Matisse, and Cézanne.
