- Lawrence Gipe re-represents archival photographs as oil paintings and drawings, continuing his strategy of severing historical images from their original, politically charged contexts.
- Entitled “Arrivals and Departures”, this suite brings together a diverse group of images under the thematic heading of transience, transportation and movement; Gipe depicts locomotives steaming in or out of stations (based on World War II-era European photographs), airplanes (from a series of images taken during the Korean War), lines of people (waiting to see Lenin’s Tomb in Cold War U.S.S.R.) and rows of Turkish cavalry returning to their homeland in 1947.
-
- In 1986, Gipe began his career in Los Angeles with a series of exhibitions addressing the themes of industrialization, progress, totalitarian architecture and imagery and ideological photography. He has had 42 solo exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and, internationally in Munich, Berlin, and the Künstverein Düsseldorf.

- In 2006, a mid-career survey, “3 Five-Year Plans: Lawrence Gipe 1990-2005”, was organized by Marilyn Zeitlin at the University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona. In 2001, Gipe completed a mural commission for the lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, in a building designed by Robert A. A. Stern. He is an Assistant Professor of 2D Studies at the University of Arizona, Tucson and he continues to teach art studio at University of California, Santa Barbara. He has been awarded numerous grants, including two NEA Fellowships in 1989 and 1995. Gipe has curated numerous exhibitions, the latest being “North x Northwest”, a group show of work by Santa Barbara artists.
