Clint Baclawski (born 1981) is a Boston-based artist who works with photography and light, shooting on an analog camera and transforms the prints into light-filled installation pieces.[1] [2] [3]
Biography
[edit ]Born in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Baclawski attended Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for his BFA and Bucknell University for post-baccalaureate study. He then attended Massachusetts College of Art and Design for his MFA.[4] [1] [5]
Style of work
[edit ]Baclawski's installations are film image fragments stuffed inside polycarbonate tubes, which are then placed on mirrored Plexiglas and back-lit by LED lights.[6] [7] The Boston Art Review noted how Baclawski's work connects to his undergraduate degree in advertising photography especially the use of "back-lit imagery" to convey glamour to rural photographs.[6] In 2018, Frame Magazine wrote that he "works with light, imagery, and installation, pushing the boundaries of the traditional photographic frame."[1] Cate McQuaid of the Boston Globe Said of his solo show "Fringe" that "Baclawski models the enchantments and perils of desire. From afar, an object of yearning — a lover, salvation, relief from pain — floods the imagination with its perfections.[8]
