Dock Space Gallery is featuring Ansen Seale for fotoseptiembre. Ansen Seale is a San Antonio based artist with works of photographic and sculptural art exhibited in museums and galleries internationally and collected by corporate, institutional, and private collectors. He was named Artist of the Year by the San Antonio Art League and Museum in 2020.

Seale explains, “Photography has the power to fool the eye with stunning precision. In the capture of a fleeting moment, it can also reveal a truth that might otherwise be obscured in the blur of the passing of time. The structure that photography (and to some extent all art) imposes on our awareness of the world is a tool that allows us to glimpse another reality. Or maybe it’s our own familiar reality, slowed to a frame-by-frame understanding.”

Rather than suspending a single moment, Seale's photography examines the passage of time. With this new work, time and space are folded back on themselves, creating an origami version of reality. Using special custom-made software, Seale's photographic collages offer a unique perspective on the natural beauty and quirky uniqueness found in the landscape of the southwest. In his 45-year career as an artist, Seale's work is notable for its versatility and experimentation. He uses self-made cameras and custom-made software to push the boundaries of what is possible with this medium.

With the Chiasmus series, Seale has created a body of work that is both visually stunning and conceptually rich, inviting viewers to pause at these crossroads and experience the visual landscape in a new way.
