KNOXVILLE, TN.- The Knoxville Museum of Art highlights photographs from modern-day luminist Tim Davis as part of its SubUrban series March 23 through July 8, 2007. New York photographer Tim is concerned with light and his desire to "picture" light in its various manifestations. In Permanent Collection, the series featured at the KMA, Davis photographs famous paintings from museum collections. He then prints them almost actual size so that they become a representation of the original work. However, it is the reflection of light off the surface of the paintings that pinpoints the difference between the actual painting and photograph. The glare that that Davis captures on the paintings' surfaces provides the paintings with an unexpected luminescence that adds to and sometimes changes the energy of the piece by obscuring one's view of the painting.
