Regen Projects: James Welling: Iconographia
"Regen Projects is pleased to present Iconographia, James Welling’s eleventh solo exhibition with the gallery.
For Iconographia Welling’s camera becomes a time machine, reanimating images of Greek and Roman busts. The exhibition debuts these Personae, as well as a selection of images from his Cento series. Welling has used the camera as a vehicle to “time travel” in previous bodies of work such as Diary/Landscape, Seascape, Wyeth, Buildings by H. H. Richardson, Glass House, and Maison de Verre, but rarely with the emotional intensity of this latest exhibition. The exhibition’s title, Iconographia, refers to a seventeenth-century portfolio of intaglio portraits made by Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck." — Elizabeth Gartner, July 9, 2022
