Gallery Luisotti is thrilled to announce our upcoming exhibition to kick off the new year: Ron Jude, Low Tide. Mark your calendars and join us for the artist reception on Saturday, January 17th, 4–6pm. 

Ron Jude’s new photographs dovetail with the images and central themes found in his previous body of work entitled 12 Hz, in which he was preoccupied with the basic materials and mechanics of our planet. In these newest images, rocks and water begin to yield to organic life in the form of fungi, sea anemone, and a maritime forest, expanding on the Forest Floorepilogue component of his 12 Hz monograph from 2020. The title, Low Tide, references the literal subject matter of many of the images, while alluding figuratively to the ebb and flow of anxiety in our increasingly strained environmental and political moment. As the ocean surface recedes, a fleeting glimpse of deep structure is offered, as terrestrial forces and the alien world of sea life are compressed into stark black and white images. These temporary landscapes aren’t created by the tide so much as exposed by its absence.
