Gordon Wetmore has created portraits of American presidents, British royalty and various celebrities. Over the last three decades, his painting assignments have taken him all over the world. His work is included in the collections of the Royal Palace of Monaco, the Knessett in Jerusalem, the White House and Harvard, Duke and Emory Universities.
In the Eclipse of Angkor artist Binh Danh was born in Vietnam in 1977, two years after the fall of Saigon, and in 1979 he and his family left their country and eventually reached the United States. The experience inspired him to create artwork exploring time and memory. “This series ... continues my exploration of the photographic process. Photography has allowed me to mediate on death and its influence on the living. The themes of mortality, memory, history, landscape justice, evidence and spirituality encompass this [work],” states the artist. This exhibit was organized by the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University. The exhibition and accompanying publication were made possible by the Frances Niederer Artist–in–Residence Fund, Hollins University.
