Photographer and painter Ed Templeton's work has always had grungy, nonchalant street cred to it, but the subtle body of Templeton photographs currently on view at Roberts & Tilton feel almost old-school--it's as if Larry Clark decided to channel Robert Frank.
Part of a group show called "Free Flow," Templeton's photographs take up one of four walls in the aggressively rectangular gallery space, and they do have an infectious, free flowing casualness to them, despite their straight-laced subject. They depict people looking at art, mostly framed art on museum walls. Or sometimes the subjects of Templeton's photographs pose in front of a favorite painting or play with their kids while minimal canvases hang in the background. It's art hung in a white-walled gallery, that depicts art hung in white-walled museums, that still manages to present art-viewing as a totally unpretentious, open-ended way to pass the time.
The exhibition continues through February 19th.
