    Gallery 339 is pleased to present Surface Tension, an exhibition by Edward McHugh. In Surface Tension, McHugh continues to balance an array of influences to create lush landscape images. Similar to his earlier photographs, the straight-forward beauty of the landscapes belies their underlying complexity. Informed by 19th century painting and photography, abstract expressionism, minimalism and a range of other sources, McHugh is able to layer these diverse and at times dissonant ways of seeing into cohesive pictures. Ironically, these painterly pictures could only be photographs, as McHugh uses the camera’s ability to capture the spontaneous and the uncontrived. Working at this point of so many intersections, the blurred territory between painting and photography, McHugh is able to instill his images with a genuine sense of mystery.
