Hamiltons Gallery is delighted to announce the forthcoming show of new works by American photographer Huger Foote.

 

Huger Foote returns to Hamiltons Gallery for a solo exhibition focusing on his home turf: Memphis and the Mississippi Delta.

 

Foote’s large scale photographs peer intimately into the heart of manmade and natural matters with energy that verges on elemental chaos. By focusing upon small segments in his chosen environments Foote allows us to see the whole. Whether his pictures are of a verdant field, a recycling plant, an old car or the back of a diner, Foote brings an elegance to every image and a surety of what is important in every frame.

As William Eggleston, his close friend, states: “He composes a fine image of what is out there.”

 

Foote graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and worked for several years as an apprentice to Annie Leibovitz. His own fashion and portrait photography has appeared in many national and international publications, including Vanity Fair, ID, Doubletake, Interview and both European and American editions of Vogue. As a fine art photographer he has been exhibited worldwide. His work is in major public and private collections including Microsoft and Sir Elton John Collection.

 

In 2000 his monograph Huger Foote: My friend from Memphis was published to great acclaim. After living in London for a number of years he returned to Memphis to study and photograph his native surroundings again.
