After Photo Series
This work began in May 2023. I had been very interested in working from photos for a while. What I found interesting was what the camera could catch while the human eye could not. The light and colors blurring and fading into one another. I don’t by any means consider this work to be Hyper Realism or anything close. I wanted to remain in “painting”, showing some brush stroke and even some imperfections, keeping the hand of the artist still apparent.

Cinema
In this sub series, CINEMA. I wanted to create a dialogue beyond the still photos from the films. Juxtaposing two images from films having nothing to do with the other was the interest here. Creating a new conversation, a new perspective on pop culture images. Taking the images out of context, allowing the viewer to rethink the films themselves. The idea is that creating complimentary imagery creates a new dialogue for each still photo as well as the films themselves

Cinema Series
By placing two dissimilar stills, from different films next to one another, a new dialogue is created. The images are no longer simply films, iconic or not, this contrast and even complimentary imagary changes the conversation. This begins to offer a new perspective relating more to the images than the films.
