October 28 – December 30, 2024
Time vanishes here, days don’t matter, with days filled with kids splashing in the pool and the nights filled with BBQ, s’mores and ghost stories. Backyards are the American dream, a patch of land we can call our own. Backyards become the gathering space, the place we live outside and filled with individuality.
This Griffin @ WinCam exhibition this fall features two artists whose work revolves around the gathering place we call home and the intersection of natural and familial landscapes, urban and suburban living. David Oxton and Gary Beeber create an oasis of color, life and connection to nature in a confined space, suburban backyards. These two artists have given unique vision to how we inhabit the patch of land, urban or suburban.
Gary Beeber is an award-winning American photographer and filmmaker who has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world. He has had numerous solo photography exhibitions and his documentary films have been screened at over 150 film festivals. Pfizer Pharmaceutical, Goldman Sachs and Chase Bank are Fortune 500 companies who collect his work.
David Oxton is Massachusetts north shore photographer who creates photographs that blend candid moments with constructed tableaus. Oxton is both a photographer and educator. Images from his Trackside project have been exhibited at Photographic Resource Center, Montserrat College of Art, and Lesley University; and published in Shots Magazine and Cape Ann Magazine.
David was a commercial and editorial photographer for 10 years before concentrating on fine art photo projects. David lives in Beverly and taught photography at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield for 32 years.
The Griffin @ WinCam is located at 22 Swanton St in Winchester, MA. Hours are Monday through Friday 11am to 5pm. You can see more about WINCAM on their website.
