OPENING RECEPTION – THURSDAY OCTOBER 10TH 5:30- 7:30 PM

Weinstein Hammons Gallery is pleased to present six new photographs from Erik Madigan Heck’s latest monograph, The Tapestry. Inspired by historic tapestries, as well as Impressionist and Contemporary paintings, Heck creates surreal, dreamlike worlds. 

In Heck’s photography, the medium is not merely a documentary tool but an opportunity for imagination – a means to create new realities. His focus lies in the ability of art to connect, challenge perceptions, and reveal deeper truths about the human experience. Heavily influenced by his mother, a painter who introduced him to art at a young age, Heck’s passion for painting has continually shaped his photographic style. His latest series delves into the intersection of landscape, fashion, still life, portraiture, and abstraction, offering a fresh perspective on his artistic journey.
