Read MoreChristopher Bucklow is best known for his Guest series of solar pin-hole photographs of luminous silhouettes, for which the technical process is a cross between photography and drawing. Strongly influenced by Carl Jung’s theory of the Anima and Animus, the idea of the repressed parts of the male and female psyche feature repeatedly throughout his work. One of the most innovative artists working in Europe today, Bucklow’s work can be placed within a continued tradition of British photographers who have since the early 1990’s taken the art of the photograph into ever more novel, interesting, and technically and conceptually challenging territory.
Bucklow’s work is held in numerous important public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
