Scott
Bulger’s New Work Is An Invitation To Take A Closer Look
A peak
at acclaimed New Hampshire artist Scott Bulger’s latest work
exemplifies his favorite quote by Henry David Thoreau - “It’s not
what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”
Using black
and white photography as his medium of choice, Bulger sees himself
as a chronicler of the often unnoticed and underappreciated. His new
body of work, Khronikos, does just that as Bulger turns his eye to
examine the detail and texture that surrounds us on a daily basis. “Bulger’s
crisp black and white images chronicle unnoticed and forsaken
aspects of the ordinary,” said Christopher Volpe in a review in the
June/July/August issue of Art New England.
The show on display
now through August 27 inside the Carolyn Jenkins Gallery at the
Kimball Jenkins Estate in Concord, New Hampshire features 17 crisp
black and white 20”x30” digital prints. These are the largest prints
Bulger has undertaken in his career.
To celebrate the opening of
this new show, Bulger has partnered with a local musician, winery
and caterer to bring a new style of destination art opening in
Concord. The Friday, July 9 opening is free to the public and will
be held from 7-11 p.m. Jazz music will be performed by the Scott
Solsky Quartet. Scott Solsky is also the music program coordinator
for the Shaker Road School. New Hampshire winery LaBelle Winery will
offering guests a chance to sample their award-winning wines and
catering will be provided by Chef DJ Collise III.
The theme for
this new body of work presented itself as Bulger began to review the
images. Khronikos is the Greek word for chronicle. “A chronicle is a
historical account of facts and events arranged in chronological
order,” Bulger said. “Typically, equal weight is given for
historically important events and local events, the purpose being
the recording of events that occurred, seen from the perspective of
the chronicler. Since these events are seen from the perspective of
the chronicler, they are open to interpretation.
“I am a
chronicler,” he added. “I use a camera as opposed to a pen to
chronicle my surroundings.”
This body of work represents
two-years of Bulger’s time behind his camera. Only 17 images made it
into the show, but Bulger has also published a book, available for
sale at the opening event or by contacting him, featuring 52 images.
Bulger began exploring photography when his grandmother offered him
the opportunity to use her camera at age 12. He has been viewing the
world through the lens of a camera ever since.
Studying the work
of the photographers that he admired the most; Ansel Adams, Edward
Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Elliot Erwitt, and Henri Cartier-Bresson,
a common thread was realized and switching to black and white seemed
the obvious course to take. Over his 20 year career, Bulger’s work
has been displayed in many exhibits, published in textbooks,
received numerous awards and included in many private collections.
In 2001, “A Portrait of the Yucatan,” a collection of photographs
from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico was published. In 2010, Bulger
was recognized by the Hippo Press as one of the best local visual
artists.
Bulger has taught many aspects of photography, from
composition to the Zone System. He currently teaches at
Kimball-Jenkins School of Art in Concord, N.H. where he sits as a
board member of the School of Art Supporters advisory team. He also
teaches as an adjunct professor in the Visual Arts degree program at
NHTI, Concord’s Community College.
