The Beauty in Decay (2022)

October 1 to November 1, 2022

The Beauty in Decay (2022) was presented from October 1 to November 1, 2022 as an online photography exhibition of 40 works by 39 artists. Its original framing examines the tension between deterioration and grace through weathered surfaces, abandoned places, aging bodies, fading materials, and natural cycles. The catalog makes that theme searchable through exact process records: 27 archival photo prints, six archival pigment prints, one archival piezo print, one aluminium metal print, one archival inkjet print, one photography metal print, one deconstructed inkjet print, one metallic print, and one work with no medium listed. Featured Artist credits reach across the United States and include locations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Those are artist credit locations, not statements of nationality or where any work was made. This page preserves the complete roster, all 40 catalog entries, dimensions, edition notes, historical listed prices, and POR and NFS fields inside TCG Gallery's permanent online photography exhibition archive. Explore the works below, then continue through later Beauty in Decay exhibitions, the archive, or current photography open calls.

What Time Alters, Erodes, and Leaves Behind

The Beauty in Decay (2022) is a completed contemporary photography exhibition of 40 works by 39 artists. Its original page frames deterioration and grace as a visual tension, naming weathered surfaces, abandoned places, aging bodies, fading materials, and natural cycles as the exhibition's thematic field. The archive keeps those ideas at the exhibition level. It does not assign a subject or interpretation to any individual work from its title alone. Instead, it makes the finished exhibition searchable through the live record: titles, photographic processes and output formats when listed, dimensions, years, editions, artist credits, and historical price fields.

Thirty-Three Archival Photo and Pigment Prints

The catalog identifies 27 works as archival photo prints and six as archival pigment prints. The pigment-print credits include Danielle Austen's Veins, Cheryl Aden's Pepper Under Glass, Jason Tannen's Smooth Ride, Chuck Zovko's Bethlehem Steel, Eva Nikolova's Fragments of Yesterday and Tomorrow XIV, and Kelly O'Leary's Dilapidated Farmhouse In Evening Light No.2. Archival photo print credits appear throughout the rest of the roster, including works by Bob Debski, Eric Charlton, Chera DeHoff, David Miller, Annie Bridgeford, Dean Forbes, John Diephouse, Joan Eckhardt, Keith Horton, Marc Kittner, Marilyn Strauss, Howard Pohl, and Susan Borowitz. The counts establish the process pattern without claiming one shared visual result.

Six Other Named Print and Output Formats

Six catalog entries use another named output. Janine Pendleton's Decaying Italian Villa is an aluminium metal print. Sam Bulleit's Corn IV is an archival piezo print from an edition of three. Jefferson Lankford's Dilapidated Storefront is an archival inkjet print. Lara Moffat's Phalaenopsis Focus is a photography metal print. Joe Thacker's Photo Phlebotomy is a deconstructed inkjet print, and William Dubocq's Timeless is a metallic print mounted on a mat. These labels remain exactly tied to their live credit lines, giving viewers direct paths into searches for metal prints, piezo printing, inkjet photography, deconstructed prints, and alternative photographic presentation.

Catalog Structure Across Forty Works

The exhibition brings 40 catalog entries together under 39 Featured Artist credits. Danielle Austen is represented by two works, while each of the other 38 artists appears once. Every entry keeps its supplied title, dimensions, year, process or output format when listed, and historical price, POR, or NFS field. These details support searches by artist, medium, and exhibition while leaving the image grid as the primary record. The structure also distinguishes the number of works from the number of participating artists, an important detail for anyone researching the 2022 exhibition or following recurring themes through TCG Gallery's permanent photography archive.

One Work Without a Listed Medium

Véronique Van Meerbeek's CHOICE #02 - THEM appears with dimensions, year, historical listed price, and artist credit location but no medium. It is the only work in the 40-entry catalog without a listed medium. The archive leaves that field missing instead of converting the format or title into a guessed photographic process.

The 2022 Exhibition in a Recurring Archive

Featured Artist credit lines include locations across the United States and in the United Kingdom and Australia. They identify artists for the catalog, not nationality, subject geography, or production location. Historical prices, POR, and NFS are archive fields and do not establish current availability. The separate Sales and Artist Inquiries block remains below the catalog.
