Saul Fletcher, Alison Jacques Gallery

Photographer Saul Fletcher explores fatherhood and family in a new exhibition at Alison Jacques Gallery

Vivid, detailed and intimate, Saul Fletcher’s images are somewhat at odds with the monumental-scale photographs that often dominate contemporary photography exhibitions. In his latest solo show at Alison Jacques Gallery, London the Berlin-based British artist uses a series of small-scale photographs to explore the narrative of fatherhood, albeit some more abstractedly than others.
Saul Fletcher photography
Fletcher, who began his career photographing sculptural assemblages on his studio wall, captures the vivid detail of materiality and instils permanence to his ephemeral images. The resulting photographs are beguiling in their aesthetic beauty and puzzling subjects.
Alison Jacques Gallery exhibition highlights
Look out for the striking image of a young boy from the waist up, his hands raised in a vulnerable stance, gazing stoically at the camera. This photograph, with a scarecrow-like figure pinned onto a cross-shaped paper affixed onto his studio wall, is both melancholic and eerie.
Of all the photography shows London, this thought provoking exhibition is likely to linger on your mind long after your visit.
