Sunburned GSP#1095(San Francisco Bay), 2024. three 12"x 40" unique gelatin silver paper negatives
Guest of the year 2024, Chris McCaw will present his work for the very first time in France in a solo exhibition dedicated to his latest works from his iconic series “Sunburn.” Chris McCaw’s artistic practice is firmly rooted in the history of photography while pushing the medium in new directions. His experimental process echoes the work of photography pioneer Henry Fox Talbot, combined with the paintings of Lucio Fontana. Chris McCaw has seized upon this notion of simultaneous creation-destruction by capturing the sunlight, more precisely its journey across the sky.
Solo Exhibition by Chris McCaw

The gallery
Bigaignon is a photosensitive contemporary art gallery. The gallery's line finds its roots in avant-garde movements such as light & space, minimalism, abstract art, concrete photography, and constructivism, and is built on the strong conviction that photography, particularly nourished by these currents, has fully entered a new era. Deeply committed to promoting artists who work with the fundamental elements of photography, namely light and time, regardless of the final medium, the gallery contributes to the rise of a new avant-garde. Thus, the gallery emphasizes an international program offered by the artists it represents (*) or supports, whether they are emerging, developing, or globally recognized, who take hold of the photographic medium to explore the extent of its possibilities in a unique writing style.
