黑料不打烊

Known for large format, hyperreal images of objects from his everyday life, this new body of work includes photographic constructions as well as curated objects. The seemingly minimal yet painstakingly created works in Isaac Layman鈥檚 Funeral allow for intense contemplation on the nature of loss and the details of existence. A medicine cabinet, a porcelain sink, a cutting board: each piece is in a sense a vision of emptiness, what is left when life is gone. This new body of work makes reference to life鈥檚 transitions where the death of one part of a person鈥檚 life can initially cause sadness, but then lead to reflection, and eventually a whole new, and possibly even better, existence. In this way, these works hint through numerous perspectives to the possibility of the afterlife.  Similar to a funeral, an art exhibition brings you into the present and entreats you to take time out of your day and slow down and think about what you see, what you hear, what you feel. Where can this contemplation take us? The possibilities are limitless.
