Hot Properties: Urban House Portraiture By Jim Breukelman

Curator: Karen Love

"In Jim Breukelman's earlier photographs, houses have signified as personal images, sometimes of desolation, sometimes of refuge, their doors, windows, gardens or paved front yards illuminating a private symbology, self-revelation through the agency of found structures and spaces. Here, though, the houses are portraits of their owners, gentle explorations into the lives of the people who dwell therein, and all Breukelman's metaphors have opened up from introspection, stretching past the shadows toward a broader social understanding." —Robin Laurence
