"I like to go back to a place. Seasons change. Light, which is theater, changes. Nature is tumultuous, and our contact with it makes life happen.” - David H. Gibson
David H. Gibson is a lifelong photographer whose first contact with the medium was in his father's darkroom before he could read. Gibson received a B.A. from Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, and an M.A. at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. His early work in theater lighting enhanced his photographic education which is largely self-directed. Valley House Gallery has shown his photographs since 1990, just after he had his first solo exhibition at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York.
Since 1990, Gibson’s work has been featured in Aperture, Hasselblad Forum, Photo Technik International, PHOTOgraphic, and View Camera, and has been the subject of multiple books. His work has been acquired by many museums, including the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, the Ballinglen Foundation in Ireland, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Gibson’s work has been exhibited at the AIPAD Photography Show (Wm. Floyd Gallery, New York), the Amarillo Museum of Art (Texas), the Amon Carter Museum (Fort Worth), the Art in Embassies Program (Dublin, Ireland and Lima, Peru), la Biennale Photographique: Terre Ciel Mer (Montpellier, France), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta), the Houston Museum of Natural Science, The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (Dallas), The Menil Collection (Houston), Photo-Eye Gallery (Santa Fe), the Special Photographers Company (London), and the Tyler Museum of Art (Texas).
The overall dimensions, including the 8-ply rag mat, are 20 x 24 inches.
