Anthony Goicolea's 'Almost Safe' Exhibition at Postmasters Gallery Features Digital Landscape Photographs

From April 28 to June 2, 2007, Anthony Goicolea showcased his exhibition 'Almost Safe' at Postmasters Gallery in New York City. The exhibition included expansive black-and-white photographs, some reaching eight feet in width, that illustrated abandoned landscapes digitally crafted from various European sites. Goicolea's technique mirrors the art of digital matte painting, resulting in virtual settings characterized by a blend of soft and sharp edges. The front room featured moody landscapes devoid of human presence, marking a departure from his previous focus on self-portraits. In the rear gallery, ten diptych portraits of elderly subjects were displayed, made using hand-painted photographic negatives. Key pieces included 'Deconstruction', 'Low Tide', 'North Bank', 'Sky Lift', and 'Smoke Stack', evoking the essence of artists like Friedrich and Cole.
