Ellipsis: Dual Vision

Exploring photography with a painter's eye Posen has revolved his painting process around the ontology of photography for forty years. In Ellipsis: Dual Vision his first monograph the artist comes full circle with a series of 174 paired photographs. Blurring the lines between realism and abstraction Posen uses the photograph as a poet uses the word each image acting as both the symbol and subject of a larger idea.
