Jefferson Hayman | Wherever You are is Called Here

Exhibition opening reception with the artist

Wednesday, February 21st, 6pm - 8pm

Over the past twenty years, Hayman has utilized his expertise in historic photographic techniques to explore themes such as memory, nostalgia, and common symbols. In particular, the rich and varied tonality of his imagery is informed by early photographic processes, and his work invites viewers into an alluring portal of subjects and places that conjure the mystique and poetic expression of analog film.

Another notable characteristic of Hayman’s work is his use of handcrafted or vintage one-of-a-kind frames to make each work of art an individual art-object, a practice he has employed throughout his career. 

Hayman’s work is found in numerous private and public collections, notably The Museum of Modern Art Special Collections Library, The Boston Athenaeum, The New York Public Library, the collection of Sir Elton John, and the collection of Robert DeNiro, amongst many others.

In 2015 he was awarded the prestigious Pollock Krasner grant.

Hayman lives and works in Nyack, New York, a small historic village minutes from the heart of Manhattan.
