The Grail
Work from the 30 piece Foreland exhibition, current;y showing in Hauraki House, Coromandel Town until December 23.
""There is a strong thread of thought that holds that the very best photographs are the result of relationships, and this can also true of landscape photography. Only by repeat journeys back to a familiar place does the immediacy and enormity of the landscape become distilled down to the bare symmetry of suddenly revealed bones, the essence evoked in the simplest and most everyday of things, becoming mnemonics which lead to darker more complex understandings. By referencing the area’s most fundamental geographical characteristic and interpreting it generally rather than specifically photographer Stuart Broughton,renders the Coromandel as emblematic of all land." - extract of essay by Kelly Ana Morey.

Stuart BroughtonFrom documenting the emotional and psychological effect of travel to his interpretation of the landscape, portraiture and documentary genres, Broughton's photographic works journey beyond contrivance and the obvious and instead contemplate spontaneity and evocation.
Prior to photography, Broughton's experiences working in magazines, cinema, the music business, both here and in Europe, and a BA in European Studies, engaged, developed and inspired his unique visual sense. He studied photography and art in London art institutes and has worked as a professional photographer for various national magazines.
Broughton’s first exhibition ‘Transit’ (2006) centred on global travel and featured the highly regarded work The Boatman. His follow-up show, ‘Foreland’ (2009) ran for 5 weeks in Auckland.
Stuart Broughton’s haunting, theatrical and evocative works are in collection with Art Associates, a premiere art leasing and sales company, and are also found in both corporate and private collections.
