Doc Ross - 'One Man Group Show'
Canaday Gallery, 14th October–1st November 2009
Photographer Doc Ross has traversed, surveyed, explored and captured the landscape through the lens in all its altering seasons and environments since the 1980’s. As a photographer he approaches his work as a translation of his reality and as this has evolved, alongside technological processes, so then has the influences and subject matter for his work which ranges from ‘landscapes, urban observations, constructions, personal and social commentary’.
One man group show is an exhibition of a small snapshot of predominantly recent images from a large body of 20 years work, the diversity of subject matter clearly evident and purposeful, but the underlying desire to capture contour and light remains consistent throughout. This exhibition exemplifies Doc’s clear vision in the pursuit of fleeting moments; where the mundane becomes monumental or the bleak comes to life and at the core a sense of isolation in the transience of existence prevails.
Doc Ross has work in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Australia and has exhibited in Melbourne, Sydney, and New York and at COCA for over ten years.
