Gregory Scott has always blurred the lines between painting and photography, incorporating paintings he did of himself, or his body, back into his photographs. In 2008, he merged his love of painting and photography with video. Scott creates narrative pieces which use illusion and surprise to tackle issues ranging from identity and loneliness, to the way the art world has pigeonholed the various mediums in which he works.
Joel-Peter Witkin is a photographer whose images of the human condition are undeniably powerful. For more than twenty years he has pursued his interest in spirituality and how it impacts the physical world in which we exist. Finding beauty within the grotesque, Witkin pursues this complex issue through people most often cast aside by society.
Robert & Shana ParkeHarrison have created a style unique within the photo world, constructing fantasies in the guise of environmental performances for their nameless character, often referred to as the Everyman. In their new work, which introduces color into the palette, the ParkeHarrisons continue to immerse themselves in myth, rituals, and the relationship between man, nature and technology.
Most artists strive to make work that says something — that reaches deep inside themselves to reveal a fear or a desire. Lauren E. Simonutti presents work that is so truthful and so raw that the viewer can't help but accept her truth and enter a world which may be unfamiliar but undeniably powerful.
Through Julie Blackmon's images of her children, nieces, nephews and friends, we enter a world of fantasy, where things never seem quite right. Like Alice in her wonderland, Blackmon's children appear in reality and fantasy, engrossed in their created worlds. These are curious images which make us pause, question, laugh, reflect and smile.
Quiet, thoughtful and unassuming are words often used when describing images made by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Watanabe. Whether photographing a lone child atop a jungle gym-like structure or the simplicity of a lace wedding glove, Watanabe proves time and again that when a photographer is patient, beauty and opportunity reveals itself in everyday events.
Holly Roberts grew up and still resides in New Mexico, a region where indigenous ideology and Western beliefs merge, creating a magical area filled with a sense of history and spirituality — elements essential to Roberts and her work. Roberts uses paint to define the photographic image, allowing the brush to guide her through the piece. Through her steady and unflinching gaze, Holly Roberts invites us to look inside ourselves to discover our own fears and truths.
