Fraenkel Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new and recent photographs by Richard Learoyd. Exploring classical subjects using exacting photographic techniques, Learoyd creates hyper-detailed works with enigmatic depths. Highlights include new studies of ancient trees printed on gessoed canvas and largescale views of the Grand Canyon. The show also features new still lifes, and marks the debut of photographs Learoyd made in collaboration with renowned ceramicist Frances Palmer. For the exhibition, Palmer created vessels based on drawings made by Learoyd, who in turn photographed the ceramics in his studio, overflowing with flowers in a reconsideration of Rococo styles. A public reception with Learoyd and Palmer will take place on Saturday, May 31, from 2-4pm, with a conversation between the artists at 2:30pm. During the opening, Palmer’s ceramic vases will feature arrangements by floral artist Morvarid Mossavar of La Lavande Floral Studio.
