Art: Photography Gregory Crewdson

  • Picture-7_large

For his latest show, Gregory Crewdson churns out a new line of epic photo tableaux. Shot on a blockbuster budget with an army of production assistants, his meticulously staged scenes invoke a supernatural world of haunted rural roads and bruised suburban interiors. The characters populating the artist's noir dramas appear possessed as they stare off into space, bathed in cinematic light. Apparently, Crewdson gets his ideas for photographs while swimming — proving that he's got both the imagination and the capital to realize any vision that floats into his head.

– Thomas Seely

Note: Crewdson lectures at the Hammer Museum on Thur May 1 (7pm, Free).
