The work of Erik Madigan Heck (b. 1983) occupies a space between photography and painting. The Garden is the artist’s latest series, filled with explosions of colour across idyllic classical landscapes. This new collection of images is on view at Jackson Fine Art, Atlanta, published as a monograph by Damiani. Composed over a five-year period, the series intimately and metaphorically explores human experience – reflecting on the birth of the photographer’s two sons and the passing of his mother. For The Garden, Erik Madigan Heck turns the lens inwards, exploring personal family stories through bold aesthetic choices.
