Paul Shambroom Level A HAZMAT suit, yellow 2004 Archival pigmented inkjet on canvas with varnish. 62 x 37 3/4 in. (157.5 x 95.9 cm) Signed, titled, dated and copyright in pencil on the reverse. Number 7 from an edition of 8.
Provenance Kavi Gupta Gallery, Chicago Literature Phaidon, Vitamin PH: New Perspectives in Photography, p. 256 Weisman Art Museum, Paul Shambroom Picturing Power, cover Catalogue Essay Since the late 1980s Paul Shambroom has been photographing nuclear sites with a detached, objective eye. The current lot, Level A HAZMAT suit, yellow, 2004, from the Security series that Shambroom began the year the image was taken, is an extension of the previous project. The figure depicted against the Romantic-inspired sky is a first responder, clad in suit and armor against hazardous predicaments. The stark difference between his profession and the atmospheric background begets a sense of ambiguity, at once heroic as well as potentially ominous. Shambroom has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago.
