New York based photographer, Cindy Sherman, who's work is displayed in many galleries and museums around the world. She captures the essence of women and herself in unnatural settings, which creates mystery and boldness. Sherman claims that she utilizes her camera as tool to mass produce images to her liking and taste. Sherman's open-ended concepts inspires many people to perceive her work, and think about the message being communicated through the image.
Much of Sherman's work is comprised of women in ambiguous and gory situations where she portrays the perception of America. Her work revolves around how the media is conducted through television and on film. Growing up in the fifties, Sherman became inspired by the aesthetic appeal of how the movie industry portrayed women. Her work is inspired by how the women in movies have emotionless faces, and how they are portrayed in society through movies. Later in her career, she used many props such as mannequins used for medical educational purposes. Sherman used obscure objects such as condoms, male/female genitals, and baby dolls.
Her audience portraits her work with open interpretation - which can be described as feministic or shomanistic. Sherman does not purposely create symbolic or ideological references; she simply creates work as she experiences the world around her. Because of different media influences that prohibit artist to show obscene content, Sherman created her work as almost unsellable for mockery purposes. For example, she wanted to create work to contradict the government's actions to sensor artist's content. So, Sherman created obscene images to communicate messages out of spite. By showing images out of spite, she portrays disagreement government by photographic graphic content of nude, pornographic scene.
REFLECTION OF GEORGES ROUSSE
27 January 2018
French photographer, George Rousse, redefines how images are seen to the general eye. His approach to photography creates an ambiance between two-dimensional and three-dimensional aspects in a space. Rousse creates invisible forms. Though these forms are generated in an abandoned space, Rousse creates a fabricated space - which creates an illusion of depth. Many of Rousse work resembles the timelessness in the empty material world, and finds beauty where no other would find aesthetic appeal. Also, his work created the fabricated material such as paint and the existing walls of an interior space.
Much of Rousse's work resembles with my own philosophical approaches when creating photography. Such surreal scenes matches how I approach my art work-which explores the utilization of surreal concept in tangible spaces. Rousse's work makes me feel content with the world, and the surreal aspects of the work makes me feel happy. The work makes me feel happy because I feel content with avant-garde concepts. Honestly, the avant-garde aspects provides contentment in my own life. When I viewed Rousse's work, the intricate utilization of color was carefully planned and throughout. Most impressively, if one detail was miscalculated, the whole design of the image would be deconstructed.
Overall, I was very impressed with how Georges Rousse produced images in contemporary spaces. Much of his work relates to how I approach art, and his art makes me feel happy. Many of his approaches are new and invigorating to the contemporary photography world. Hopefully, I can provide the same enlightenment in my own work such as Georges Rousse created in his artistic work.
