Noelle Katigbak Tan
Silverlens Gallery is proud to announce the opening of the first solo show of Noelle Katigbak Tan in
For her show, Noelle Katigbak Tan will be exhibiting two sets of works, Drawing and Untitled. According to the artist, “These bodies of work depict landscapes that hover between emerging and being, the seen and the subliminal. They challenge the viewer to question what it is they can actually see in the photograph.” Aptly called Drawing, Tan’s series of 18 darkroom printed photographs seem like sketches made with pencil at first glance. Bathed in pure white, Tan’s panoramas blind viewers and hint of familiar scenery. A stark contrast to Drawing, Untitled is a collection of 13 silver gelatin prints in rich black with spark-like bursts of light.
Paul Roth, Curator of Photography and Media Arts at the Corcoran Gallery of Art describes Tan’s work: “Noelle Tan makes photographs that are at once conceptual explorations of our current social unease and technical forays to the medium’s outer limits. In contrasting tones of black and white, her photographs elide detail to suggest submerged truths; and dissipate reality to explore the unknown.“
