Jeremy Kidd was born in 1962, in London, into a family of 20 artists, headed by his grandparents Ben
Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth.
He received his BA in Fine Art and Sculpture from De Montford University in Leicester, and inspired by
an art collage assignment to document a walk through a park using multiple photographic shots, Kidd
embarked on his unique digital photographic journey...
Kidd is widely recognized as the creator of day- through-night photography. He combines up to 100 long-exposure photographs into a single work. Kidd believes this to be a more cohesive way of
expressing a landscape pictorially. It allows him to explore movement and condenses time, exemplifying
the metaphysical in the urban and natural landscape. Thus, he can combine different times of day/night
into one piece, exploring a scene for up to a week in each work. The results are grand-scale
photomontages. Recently, he has begun animating these stills into pictorial narratives of the dystopic
sublime and accompanying them with ethereal soundscapes, composed by Kidd, a talented musician.
In his new works, Kidd explores the digital intrusion in our landscape: oscillating, auric, spheres and
graphic elements drawn from the vista, hover, and gestate floating over the scenes. Stretched rock strata
double as organic bar codes, as one seeks to integrate meta space while it engulfs our environment.
There is a loss of recognition between the digital realm, and our environment, as the singularity is
reached – a resonant, blending of graphic interface, and longing for the return to nature.
Kidd lives in Venice, LA, and taught at the California Institute for the Arts and Otis College of Art &
Design. Kidd is represented by the Imago Gallery, Palm Desert, CA. Since 1998 he has had countless
solo and group exhibitions in the US, the Hague, London, Paris, Puglia, and the Venice Biennale. His
work has been regularly exhibited at the Laguna Museum of Art.
Kidd’s work is exhibited in many private and public collections in the US, Great Britain, Germany, the
Netherlands, Australia, Algeria, Panama, Hong Kong, Italy, and Dubai.
