Thank you to Debra and Darren for featuring my photographs! Don't miss this sale! Ends May 21. #Repost @klompchinggallery with @get_repost ・・・ Don't miss out on seeing and purchasing an artwork from the 'Tech Vanitas' series by Jeanette May, on view now via the gallery website—with a time-limited sale on these outstanding artworks. . Archival Pigment Prints. 24" x 36", Ed: 10+2AP. $1,760 + shipping. . Image shown: 'Musical Decanter', 2018. Jeanette wrote about her work for our #ArtistsOnArtists exhibition recently, here are some her words - read the full text on the gallery #newsblog. . "Purposeful humor is present in much of my imagery, including this series—I selected some of the tech objects specifically for their charm or quirkiness. I’ve also included some “Easter eggs” such as a bent paperclip, an essential tool for the home computer far later than one would have hoped! I arranged technology from different decades, creating some wry juxtapositions and suggesting the passing of time. I’m often surprised by how quickly technology becomes obsolete. Some of the “new” technology I included in these still lifes might be out-of-date before the photograph is ever exhibited! I find that viewers of my still lifes are drawn to the items remembered from their past, sparking conversations about their fondness for, and the limitations of, a discarded radio, calculator, or Palm Pilot". . #techvanitas #vanitas #jeanettemay #klompchingart #collectart #collectingphotography #technologyinart #techstilllife #stagedphotograph #artcollector #affordableart #techproducts #techpr @technology #technology #fineartphotography #larryslist #artinyourhome #artsale #artindumbo #dumboarts #siliconvalley (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVU_B-l3z6/?igshid=1sqbpgxai0181
