Our desire to experience beauty has always
been a primal need in society and to express it we have relied upon the arts.
This body of work represents an ongoing project in the classic
tradition of nude studies. Influenced by Greek and Roman sculpture, each of these images reaches to explore the grace, exuberance
and even oddity of the male form. These stark, edgy and provocative images set against a field of darkness, revealing here/withholding
there, are open to numerous possible interpretations.
Through
the use of average non-professional models, I strive to embrace the light, line, curves and textures that create what is male.
Not perfection but simplistic and sensual. The forms confined in the darkness yet seeming to reach for some escape.
Each image is a 3.5 x 5 inch Gelatin Silver print in editions
of 25 signed and numbered by the artist on the Verso.
