Ted Kincaid is a Dallas-based artist whose work challenges the notion of photography as a subjective record. Through the use of digital and traditional processes, Ted is creating a new type of painting informed by photo-imagery and a new type of photography influenced by painting.He received his BFA from Texas Tech and his MFA from the University of Kentucky before returning to Dallas to set up his practice. He has been reviewed in ARTFORUM, ARTPAPER and ART ON PAPER and is included in the permanent collections of both the Dallas Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, as well as a host of corporate collections, including a massive 700-square foot canvas in the Dallas Omni Convention Center Hotel. Ted is represented by a number of galleries around the U.S., including Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas and Devin Borden Gallery in Houston.I recently sat down with Ted at his home in Dallas where we discussed the veracity of the photographic image, pictorialism, the sublime, the former grandeur of Valley View Mall and the current state of arts education.
