The Cummer Museum’s Bank of America Concourse Art Shop welcomes Jacksonville native Doug Eng, a photographer and installation artist who explores urban and natural landscapes through striking imagery. Trained as an engineer and software programmer, Eng has built a reputation for distinctive visual work and public projects.
Impressions of Place complements Andrew Wyeth at Kuerner Farm: The Eye of the Earth by capturing the 33-acre Kuerner Farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, largely preserved as Wyeth would have seen it. Eng’s photographs, from wide landscapes to intimate details, show the roads, buildings, fields, and hills that inspired Wyeth.
With accompanying notes, the series highlights key features and relationships across the site without acting as a literal map. Eng’s personal exploration of the grounds, farmhouse, and barn offers his interpretation of the farm, giving viewers a closer connection to the landscapes behind Wyeth’s iconic paintings.
