The Photography Show presented by AIPAD

PIER 94 | NEW YORK CITY | APRIL 3 - 7, 2019

For AIPAD 2019, De Soto Gallery presented two series of experimental cyanotype-based works by Ivan Forde. Utilizing a wide variety of photo-based and print-making processes, Forde retells stories using epic poetry as a narrative framework to create detailed vignettes where he casts himself as every character. His non-linear interpretations of time-worn tales open the possibility of new archetypes and alternative endings, connecting the personal to the universal.
