Skid
Severson
is a self-taught photographer with a maverick perspective. Best
known for his automotive series, he brings a rare perspective to
the over-photographed and mythologized subject of American car
culture; his own vision.
Avoiding the clichés which befall the majority of hot-rodding
imagery, Skid deftly sidesteps the cultural minefields of
postmodernist over-analysis and self-conscious retro fashion.
Severson's photographs emphasize his enthusiastic and personal
relationship with the world of gear heads.
An
Arizona based photographer and
musician, Skid Severson exhibits work in the Tucson area and
gigs regularly in the many of the city's nightspots. His work
has been published in No Depression,
Tape Op and he is a
frequent contributor to the
Tucson Weekly.
Severson is a former member of the defunct and much-missed
musical ensemble, Rodeo Queen.
