Artist Biography:
Jeremy Kidd (born April 1, 1962) is a British-born contemporary artist, who does paintings, sculptures, installation art, and photography. Kidd was born on April 1, 1962, in London into a well known artistic family. In 1984, he received his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts & Sculpture from the De Montfort University in Leicester, England. In 1986 Kidd and his then girl-friend Alison Fisher came to New York and lived for two weeks in the Meatpacking District, Manhattan, before they headed towards Tucson, Arizona, via Auto Driveway, where they bought a van in which they traveled around the USA for a year. While living in the United States, his work continued to expand. Kidd composes an image from multiple perspectives. In order to get his desired image, he often takes hundreds of digital photographs with a wide-angle lens of either landscape or cityscape scenes at different times of day and night to get a range of lighting conditions and weather shifts and then stitches them together in Photoshop to create a single composition that seems more representative of the time and place. This can take several months to up to a year. With his training as a sculptor, Kidd also often integrates the three – dimensional with photography as can be seen in this work. less
