Allan Jenkins: The Art of Still Life
This exhibition by fine art photographer Allan Jenkins, will focus on his ‘Still Life’ series and feature
flora and natural forms. These beautiful photographs are reminiscent of the still life paintings
of the old masters, with their elegant compositions, luminous colours and sharp details.
Jenkins has a fascination with the way that light can make objects magical and ethereal. Photography
freezes a moment in time, the objective is to record and intensify this stillness. The simplicity and honesty
of these photographs is magnified by the sharp focus and the tight, close study of intricate details.
In order to achieve a painterly effect, he applies a series of long exposures and depth of field.
His aim is to depict more than the human eye is capable of capturing in a single glance.
Traditionally, a still life includes a fully illustrated background, but Allan has developed a method of
isolating the subject matter against a neutral background, treating the objects like formal portrait sittings.
They are carefully lit and posed, and viewed from a particular point of view, much like a portrait.
The finished photograph conveys a sense of calm and serenity.
Jenkins says ‘the study of Still Life is a visual record and an investigation; it’s the search for aesthetic
refinement’. He is dedicated to furthering our appreciation of the ‘everyday’, striving to convey
an atmosphere of quiet emotion.
Allan Jenkins was born in 1969 in Wales and raised in Spain. He was educated in Spain and Yorkshire,
and has been based in London since 1993. He is best known for his hand-printed images of still life,
portraiture and figurative work.
Jenkins has exhibited widely and as a guest lecturer teaches at Central St Martins.
His work has been published in books, magazines and advertising material.
