Silver Female Figures (Mildly NSFW)

Ryan Nance August 21, 2016

Guido Argentini’s models in his series “Argentum,” are covered in shiny silver makeup and are meant to cover the range of women in Greek mythology, from Demeter and Persephone to Artemis and Electra.

Evoking the luminous polished planes of the work of Brancusi and the verve of Degas’ ballet sketches, these photographs endow the human body with both the solidity of sculpture and the vivid energy of dance.

Using geometrical props Guido Argentini created a contrast between the human body and the archetypal forms of geometry: triangles, circles and squares.

Ryan Nance June 12, 2015

Giacobetti:

"Naked bodies dressed in shadow. Sunbathed photos undressed by light."
"Nudes that do not seem to be nudes."
"The famous encounter between desire and an object, and waves.”

Anxiety-Ridden Images from John William Keedy

 John William Keedy‘s artist statement:

“It’s Hardly Noticeable explores the world of a character who navigates living with an unspecified anxiety-based mental illness. He negotiates situations constructed to highlight the impacts and implications of his differences on his thoughts and behaviors, and by doing so raises question of normalcy. Through constructed tableaus and metaphorical still lifes, the series reveals the relationship between reality and perception, and highlights issues of pathology while questioning stereotypes of normalcy.
