Prepare to enter a strange world. No wait...you’re already there. It’s the real world around you as seen through the lens of Texas born artist and inventor Ansen Seale.
There is no doubt that this is photography, photography of the real world--beaches and parades, junk yards and creeks. But, in the same way that telescopes and microscopes allow humans a glimpse of reality they are not naturally privileged to see, Seale’s "chronoscope" makes us into time travellers, at least for a moment...
The works have a variation of aesthetic that is both challenging and calming. Some figures are elongated, others are stretched, some figures have stick legs while other’s feet resemble skis. Shadows curve and landscapes are devoid of perspective. There is often an aura of wild color surrounding flowing figures. In a world awash in digital imagery, a first glance at Seale’s work might be dismissed as computer trickery. But, all these effects happen in camera. No digital manipulations have been applied.
