The YPs: New Photography in Fort Worth
Curated by Christopher Blay
Fort Worth’s history with its photographers and their works is rich and ever-evolving. The YPs: New Photography in Fort Worth explores the works of five young photographers that are breathing new life into photography from the region.
With subject matter ranging from the whimsical to the deeply reflective, and working within the great themes of portraiture, landscape, and the city, Ting Huang, Paul Thomas Leicht, Raul Rodriguez, Diana Urbina, and Viktor Villanueva, along with many of their colleagues and contemporaries represent the YPs, the new generation of young photographers in Fort Worth.
Christopher Blay is an artist, writer and curator with a B.F.A. from Texas Christian University. He has worked as curator for the Art Corridor Gallery at Tarrant County College Southeast for the past eight years, and is also an art critic for Glasstire Online Magazine.
