Lebrecht Photo Library has received wonderful reviews of an exhibition of John Haynes’ photographs,  currently being displayed as part of a show centring on the work of conceptual artist Luke Fowler:

“…The show is worth the visit just to see Haynes’s photo of Samuel Beckett. Sharp as a pin, Beckett’s face hangs against darkness looking more like some fierce bird from a David Attenborough documentary than a mere human being. It is an extraordinary image.” Duncan Macmillan, The Scotsman. Read the full review here.

“[Luke Fowler has] curated a selection of photographic portraits by John Haynes – including powerful renderings of the enigmatic face of Laing – which serve to complement his own works, as well as being beautiful in their own right: it is surprising that this is their first time presented in a fine art setting.” Delle Tomes, The Journal.
