Denny Moers

Denny Moers(Michigan, 1953) is known for his highly imaginative and technically innovative photographic monoprints, created by controlling the action of light on the chemical-sensitized photo-paper during print development. This process gives his black and white photographs an extraordinary range of tonalities. He has photographed a diverse range of subject matter, from New England architecture, medieval wall frescoes and tomb reliefs, to contemporary construction sites and western landscapes and dwellings.
Moers received his MFA from the Visual Studies workshop in 1977. During the early 1980s he worked as Aaron Siskind’s first assistant. He is currently on the faculty of Roger Williams University. His monoprints are included in numerous public and private collections, including the Addison Gallery of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, and the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City.
