The New Jersey-born artist graduated from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in 2003 and is known for his experimentation with image formats, low-tech production techniques and materials. Jensen-Nagle’s recent photographs capture blurry impressions of the city outskirts, highway overpasses and vacant industrial lots. By shooting with expired Polaroid film and a soft-focus lens, he seeks to imbue the urban landscapes with an “implausible romanticism”. Produced as inkjet prints on watercolour paper and finished with a coat of polymer resin, the images have the aura of paintings. Shown alongside the landscapes is an additional series of wild and domestic animal images taken at the Natural History Museum in New York. The spooky animal forms glow as if by radiation against murky backgrounds, underscoring the surrealism of zoo practice in a contemporary world. NewZones is also featuring photographs by the legendary Hungarian-born American photographer Andre Kertész (1894-1985). Many of Kertész’s modernist images, for example The Fork, Esztergom, Swimmer, the Park Bench and Mondrian's Atelier, are among the most famous photographs of this century. Kertész perfected and popularized the art of hand-held photography over seventy years ago, and his work influenced new generations of Joshua Jensen-Nagle, Compassion (2006), pigment print on panel with resin [NewZones Gallery, Calgary AB, Feb 3-Mar 3] photojournalists.
