Michael Kenna | July Feature
July 11-25, 2020
340 Dundas Street West, Toronto
This July, we are thrilled to showcase acclaimed English photographer Michael Kenna’s work at our 340 Dundas Street W location. Kenna’s career spans across four decades, over four-hundred and fifty solo exhibitions and has work included in over a hundred permanent collections, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris; The Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo; The National Gallery, Washington, D.C.; The Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai; and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Kenna's signature style is attributed to his long-time exposures – mainly taken at dawn or in the dark hours of the night – which capture the interactions between the natural landscape and human-made structures. The artist's intimate silver-gelatin prints are still hand-processed, and reflect a sense of refinement, demonstrating his appreciation of photographic history that has become a trademark of his artistic approach.
