NEW YORK, NY.- CLAMP will present “Bill Armstrong | All a Blur,” a retrospective exhibition spanning more than two decades of work by the New York-based artist. Bringing together seminal bodies of work from Armstrong’s ongoing “Infinity” series—including “Mandalas,” “Portraits,” “Film Noir,” “Renaissance,” “Falling Through History,” and others—the show offers a comprehensive view of a practice devoted to color, perception, transcendence, and the psychological charge of the image.

Since the early 2000s, Armstrong has developed a distinctive photographic process that begins with found imagery drawn from diverse sources, including Renaissance drawings, cinematic stills, and art-historical figures. Printed reproductions are reworked with paint and collage and photographed in close range with the camera lens set at infinity—a deliberate subversion of photographic convention. The resulting images are radically out of focus, dissolving form and de-materializing the subject. Hovering between representation and abstraction, Armstrong’s photographs occupy a liminal space—at once corporeal and spectral.
