Known for his atmospheric photographs<\/a> of landscapes, interiors, and urban centers that feel mysteriously locked in a not-so-distant past, Andrew Moore<\/a>\u2019s enigmatic images invite us into a slippage of time. Often\u2014but not always\u2014devoid of people, his scenes have a timelessness about them, as if they could have unfolded at any point over the past several decades. Sometimes it feels as though someone may have just walked by; others, it\u2019s as if no one has viewed the scene for many years.<\/p>\n

In his current solo exhibition, Theater, the artist\u2019s photographs of grand staircases, aging stages, and box office ticket booths hearken to a bygone era before screens. Additional compositions featuring a bar, art restoration studio, and grand staircase in Cuba emphasize theatricality in architecture and design. Dreamy lighting, well-worn furnishings, and varying levels of decay invoke a distinct nostalgia.<\/p>\n

Theater continues through March 21 at Jackson Fine Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n
