The Tapestry

From one of the leading image makers of today, Erik Madigan Heck: The Tapestry presents more than 180 photographs in a richly colourful, experiential and tactile new monograph that spans photography and painting. Both an exploration of colour and form and a dazzling artistic statement, Erik Madigan Heck: The Tapestry is a retrospective of a kind ¿ one that originated during a time of great professional and personal uncertainty for the artist. Relentlessly creative, Madigan Heck used the enforced pause in his life, with the global pandemic as the backdrop, as a contemplative space to revisit a decade's worth of his work as a photographer and artist. This collection serves as a meditative exploration of Heck's unique fusion of photography and painting, characterized by a bold embrace of natural light, resulting in a stunning array of unapologetically beautiful and vividly colorful images. The flowing, lyrical design of this book, created in collaboration with leading design studio APFEL, weaves a visual narrative that traces not only the evolution of Madigan Heck's craft but also the threaded interconnections between photography, fashion and the broader spectrum of visual art. With contemplative texts by the author and an interview by Rosalind Jana, this book, presented as a covetable, collectible and immersive book object, will appeal to all with an appreciation of light, colour and form in art and photography.
