Collection: James Welling

James Welling (born 1951) is an American artist whose photographic practice moves between abstraction and representation through sustained experiments with light, colour and photographic processes. Trained at the California Institute of the Arts, he works with camera-based images, photograms and darkroom techniques, treating the medium’s technical possibilities as subjects in their own right. His survey Monograph, organised by the Cincinnati Art Museum, was also presented at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, bringing together work across more than three decades.
