Biography

Born and raised in New York City, Austin Irving earned a BFA from the Department of Photography and Imaging at TISCH School Of The Arts at New York University in 2006 where she studied under Deborah Wills, Thomas Drysdale and Editha Mesina.

Her work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, France, Germany, India, California, New York, Ohio, Washington, Illinois, Virginia and New Mexico. In 2017 Irving completed a two month artist residency at National Centre for Biological Sciences, India.

In 2016, she was a nominee for the United States Artists Fellowship and was a finalist in both the Architecture and Landscape categories for the Felix Schoeller Photo Award in Osnabrück, Germany.

Her photographs have been featured in The LA Times, Art Ltd., Slate Magazine, Artillery, Wired, Architectural Digest, and at PhotoLA and LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph. Irving currently lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Wilding Cran Gallery.

Irving is the daughter of filmmaker David K Irving, the granddaughter of theater director Jules Irving and actor Priscilla Pointer and the niece of actor Amy Irving.

Work

Irving's work reads as existential propositions as much as visual documents.[1] She photographs spaces that exist in our everyday realities but, upon closer inspection, appear to be slightly askew from our normal conceptions. The artist finds most of her inspiration while traveling, delighting in creating a visual lexicon of spaces that could be both everywhere and nowhere. Her imagery is made with a 4x5 view camera on color negative and is presented as large scale photographic prints.
