Artists in conversation
Jock Sturges
American · b. 1947
Sturges photographs subjects at beaches and shorelines with the same unflinching naturalism and quiet dignity that Dijkstra brings to her Coney Island series, exploring the human form and adolescent identity in coastal settings with a candid documentary sensibility.
Hellen van Meene
Dutch · b. 1972
Van Meene shares Dijkstra's Dutch photographic tradition and her focus on young people captured in vulnerable, introspective moments, using naturalistic color and a still compositional approach to examine identity and youth with documentary precision.
Taryn Simon
American · b. 1975
Simon works in a similarly rigorous documentary portrait tradition, using color photography to examine specific people in specific places and moments, combining conceptual seriousness with a naturalistic rendering of the human figure in contemporary contexts.
