HALF THE SURFACE OF THE WORLD on til the 15th of November....is the latest show at Clark and Faria for Greg Girard....and it is fantastic.........
Walking in the the front gallery you realize something is different about these photos...I was told by Daniel they are early works, some taken when the artist was as young as 18!!!......The 2 works that stood out for me were Sailors Home, Vancouver, 1973 and Americana II, Pusan, Korea, 1976, the colours and settings of these compositions show the beginning of what would be come the artists signature style, as you move into the main gallery where more recent works are hung...... these are mostly of air force bases in Japan, I really liked Off-Base, View #2, Yokohama, Japan, 2009.... the vibrancy of these works is unbelievable, I love where he situates the viewer and the cropping of the composition.....
