At Ted Kincaid’s last exhibition at Marty Walker Gallery, he showed us clouds. Now, the artist’s new work, which you can view on his website, travels even farther in the stratosphere. Kincaid’s site shows images from a few new series of work comprised of digitally fabricated moon-scapes, mountain ranges, sea vistas, and other other-worldly sights that seem to derive their inspiration from early photographic works, such as this piece from 1856 by Gustave Le Gray, “The Brig Upon the Water,” that was recently featured in the Lens of Impressionism exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art, and this classic piece of early cinema, Georges Méliès’ 1902 silent film Le Voyage dans la lune. Though they are an homage to the material qualities of photography, Kincaid’s images are prints constructed using no photographic material.
