JACK SLOMOVITS: PHOTOGRAPHY Jack Slomovits picked up his first camera at age six, a Kodak Brownie. Throughout high school and college, he won fine art, photography, and filmmaking awards, and a scholarship to study at Parsons (Los Angeles). By 1991 he was developing his unique photographic eye, and moved to New York City to study photography at Fordham University. He learned the "trade" while working at a major New York film lab where he was 'exposed' to the work of other artists in the medium. "Growing up in the 80's and maturing sexually in an age of AIDS, Jack's lust for adventure was tempered by his fear and awareness of the disease. He experimented as far as his own boundaries for safe play would allow, and became conscious both sexually and creatively of how much fantasy dictates the reality of eroticism. By merging his sexual energy as a young man and his art, the camera replaced the condom and has become his wand of control." BAS Slomovits' latest direction is a focus on 1960's and 70's photographic style. The minimalism and pattern-driven flare of decades past is emerging in his newest portraits. His goal is to create a collection of sensually charged images blending his own style of stark, raw portraiture with a creatively retro approach to intimacy and simplicity that makes them beautiful and unique. Jack's work has been published in magazines including an eight page spread in [2] Magazine, BLUE, GENRE, People, and Time Out New York; New York Times, New York Post, and USA Today newspapers; and books Male Bonding Volume II, Male Nude Now, and Naked Gallery. His work is in the permanent collection of the Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation and his photos have been exhibited extensively in the major galleries of New York and Los Angeles. Jack is recognized as one of the most talented photographers working in New York, and Gay Art Gallery is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to feature his work.
