Tayloe Piggott Gallery is pleased to present Elements, a new series of large-scale photographs by artist Tuck Fauntleroy, on view from February 7th through March 21st, 2020. This new body of work showcases visually arresting, abstract compositions of seasonal change in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Focused on ice as it forms on local bodies of water during bitter cold autumn nights, Elements challenges our perception of these well-known environs in an original presentation that hovers between the recognizable and the sublime.
Remaining true to his distinctive aesthetic, Fauntleroy’s new series visually displaces the viewer in a similar way to his previous Waterline series (released in 2018). Akin to Waterline, Fauntleroy’s Elements series highlights the artist’s careful play between negative and positive space, yet this time focuses on the captivating event of ice forming.
Three years in the making, Fauntleroy has spent his time chasing this capricious moment and the colossal beauty realized
