E. DAN KLEPPER (Marathon, TX)
A Secret History Of Flying
FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA 2022 Online Gallery

Artist and photographer E. Dan Klepper likes to explore the real and the abstract characteristics of the natural world. His images are frequently composed of multiple photographs, sometimes taken in a day or throughout a season, and then combined as composites and mosaics into completed works. They can suggest transformation over minutes or centuries, depict altered realities, and often reflect the curious laws of nature that guide our existence.

Klepper was born and raised in south Texas and completed his BFA at the University of North Texas, finishing his coursework with an introduction to experimental video technology. Klepper’s interest in art and technology led him to Chicago, center of a thriving time arts scene that focused on the creative use of video, sound, and analogue and digitally-driven visualization and interactivity. Under a work/study program, he completed his MFA in video art and technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Throughout the 1980s and early 90s, his experimental videos were represented by the Video Data Bank, an international video art distribution organization based in Chicago. Since returning to Texas, Klepper has continued to explore innovative technologies, often applying them to traditional art-making processes like photography, painting and sculpture. Today, his work is represented by Foltz Fine Art in Houston and can be found at his gallery and studio in Marathon, the small, high desert community north of Big Bend National Park, where he’s lived for over 20 years.
