EXPLORE

Images from Sightless

Six years after his absence from the Bay Area, British photographer Paul Graham’s works are making an anticipated return at the Pace Gallery. The bodies of work viewable in the exhibition called The Seasons and Sightless were originally featured in Pace’s New York gallery. Two visually contrasting collections—one in the form of large-format photographs and the other a series of portraits made 15 years ago—that gaze over society and human nature will come together under the roof of the Palo Alto Gallery. In the large-format photograph series,The Seasons, viewers will find images of various bank headquarters on New York’s Park Avenue, inspired to contrast Pieter Bruegel’s eponymous paintings of 16th century peasant life with the contemporary financial world of the city. In Graham’s portraits for his Sightless series, visitors will be reminded of everyday life as it naturally unfolds. “Photographic images might be made in an instant but are able to reflect timeless concerns, much like painting,” says Graham. Through Oct. 16, 229 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto, 650.561.4076
