Description
David Zwirner is pleased to present Seascape (2017), a new film by James Welling at its 519 West 19th Street location. This will be the United States premiere of the work and the artist's seventh solo presentation at the gallery.

In Seascape, Welling combines his family's past with the histories of cinema, photography, and painting.  The film is an homage to the artist's grandfather, William C. Welling, who studied with the American Impressionist painter Wilson Irvine and corresponded with the seascape painter Fredrick Waugh (1861-1940). Using the recently introduced Cine-Kodak Model B 16mm camera, Welling's grandfather shot the black-and-white reversal footage in the early 1930's in Ogunquit, Maine, at the suggestion of Waugh. Over the course of two days, he filmed the Atlantic Ocean at Perkins Cove—which was a celebrated site for seascape painters—capturing images of the rocky coast, which he subsequently used as a basis for a 22 x 27 inch oil painting. For Seascape, Welling took digital color samples of his grandfather's painting and, working with three animators, colorized the original footage using After Effects and Photoshop.
