Gregory Crewdson


Gregory Crewdson works within a photographic tradition that combines the documentary style of William Eggleston and Walker Evans with the dream-like vision of filmmakers such as David Lynch and Stephen Spielberg.

Crewdson’s method is equally filmic, building elaborate sets to take pictures of extraordinary detail and narrative portent.

Recent series include Twilight and Beneath the Roses, everyday scenes with charged, surreal moods that hint at the longings and malaise of suburban America.

These pictures are like incomplete sentences, with little reference to prior events or what may follow.
