Shown: Sheila With Black Hair
As we open our new exhibition, Sheila With Red Hair, by Los Angeles-based Artist, Marjorie Salvaterra, we take a moment to look back at this gallery-produced interview. In the discussion, the artist reflects on HER, an earlier body of work that exhibited at jdc Fine Art, the Griffin Museum, and screened at the Musée de l'Élysée's Nuit des Images in 2014. Viewers can immediately connect to the woman behind the lens, and pick out structural and thematic ties between the old HER series and the new Sheila With Red Hair series.
Join us for the Artist's Reception & Book Signing for Sheila With Red Hair on June 18 from 6-8 pm | Contact the Gallery to RSVP

Photographer Marjorie Salvaterra examines the psychology of age and gender through the lens of unexpected interpretation and exaggerated gestures, wildly evocative of the great Italian film directors like Federico Fellini and painters such as Alex Katz. At the same time, she offers up the individuality of womanhood, representing the woman who struggles with making sense of this crazy world. - L'Oeil de la Photographie

Now Representing Matt Eich
jdc Fine Art is thrilled to announce we are now representing the work of the Virginia-based photographer Matt Eich. We have followed the work of this young artist for more than five years and remain impressed with its staying-power.
Eich photographs the psychology of place; his subject is the American Condition. The Artist is already a well-established photojournalist with a strong list of editorial clients- National Geographic, the New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and TIME among them. Eich is currently pursuing his MFA, and has caught the attention of the Swiss publisher Sturm & Drang. Sturm & Drang have committed to publishing four monographs with the artist; the first, Carry Me Ohio is scheduled to release this fall.

Paul Turounet, Retablo 28 from Estamos Buscando A
Larry Lytle of Black & White Magazine authored a 2-page story on Director, Jennifer DeCarlo, in the April issue. We were the first subject in a new column on Art Dealers. We are honored by the coverage; excerpt follows.
DeCarlo feels a sense of responsibility to the larger art community. She explains, “I’m trying to cultivate the next generation of artists as well as cultural consumers. Keeping a gallery open to the public is very important to a sustainable and healthy cultural community . . . We vet, make sense of and help decode the current work. We provide the viewer a place to see the work, mark it in time and place, and create a history through exhibitions.” - Larry Lytle

jdc Fine Art Director, Jennifer DeCarlo, is the feature of Photograph Magazine’s In Profile column by Sarah Schmerler.
Excerpt:
DeCarlo’s eclectic stable favors work with complex and often elegiac narratives, including imagery by Mexican-born Tatiana Parcero, who overlays images of her own body with cosmological maps and anatomical diagrams, and Paul Turounet, whose recent exhibition at the New Mexico State University Art Gallery displayed his photographs of illegal immigrants on an actual wall salvaged from the border between the U.S. and Mexico. “The border is just 20 minutes from my house,” says DeCarlo. “We should just have as our motto ‘Let Art Lead The Way.’ I may run this gallery by myself, but I almost always use the plural when I refer to what we do here. It’s the artists, and all the collaborators, and all the vast issues that surround us. It’s not just me.”
