Homage to Hopper
Although Edward Hopper is considered one of the great American artists, by the age of 40 he still hadn't sold a single painting. It wasn't until he engaged with his own culture - depicting the rocky New England coastline, or austere folk in lonely New York streets - that the public took notice. Now, French photographer Christophe Clark and painter Virginie Pougnaud pay tribute to his masterpieces with intricate finesse. They begin by building, painting and photographing a miniature set, based on a particular work. An image of a figure is then digitally inserted into the set to create a perfectly modern homage.

Clark and Pougnaud’s images will be part of the Under The Influence exhibition at Catherine Edelman Gallery, Chicago, July 14-Sept 2
