Awakening #1 - Embers One, 2020, Joseph McGlennon
Giclee digital print on archival Hahnemuhle fine art paper, 140cm x 100cm
Provenance: Michael Reid, Sydney.
Following a successful beginning in advertising, Joseph McGlennon’s award-winning photography career highlights reactions of animals in their natural habitats – the first kangaroos to be seen by European eyes, parrots perching on a branch surrounded by exotic blooms, the extinct Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) fresh from killing its prey. He takes hundreds of different photographs and spends weeks layering and arranging them to arrive at a final image. The landscape is as important as the animal itself – every single details, both of foreground and background is majestically hyper-real. (1)
