Gordon Magnin's work is interesting and futuristic. He looks further than the natural shape of the face and creates artwork out of the movement and specifically articulated contortion of parts of his portraits.

Gordon creates his photos by editing the shapes in his images in photoshop. It is simple yet effective process that leaves you with subtle, abstract results.
He skilfully contorts faces and rearranges them into dynamic and creative collages. |
I am going to respond to his work by taking photos of my own and creating my versions of his artwork.

Alma Hater was born in 1989 to an artistic family in Germany, however she is now based in London on the southeast coast.
She is known for her complex and meticulously constructed portraiture, which are influenced by her creativity and her background in fine art. She prefers to not look at other artists and photographers for inspiration as she wants her work to be pure and true to herself, she doesn't want to be too influenced by others. |
The angles of the photos create an interesting view of the model compared to her face on the shape.
I chose to look at the art from different angles as well as straight on, like Haser, as I was intrigued by how the facial features look from different sides and comparing the flat and sculpted image. To improve I could experiment with other shapes and more placements around the photo. |
Marek has found singularity and refinement by intricately view perspective of a person.

The use of lighting creates cool toned images, perfectly displayed in a neat grid formation.

David Samuel Stern is a photographer, artist, and teacher based in NYC. His work attracts huge audiences in the way he translates a photographs and portraits into tangible objects. Through the variety of work produced by the artist, I am focusing on his Woven Portraits series.
He says that 'when making images that have more elements than pure photography, the meanings evoked come from the craft that aids the photographs.' This task was done by taking two images and cutting them into strips, then weaving them together to form a double up, contorted final product. His work is done so finely that you can barely see the boxes, it almost looks as if there are two translucent images over each other. |
Patrick Cornillet started this series in 2014, where he painted all of the surface of a board white, with elements of architecture were taken out of their environment and reconstituted in the form of objects on white background. The buildings dialogue with their environment and new bright colors appear in the background.
The infinite nuances of concrete, make us aware of the wealth of the material and of the remains left by the humans and by Time passing by. The work on the light is particularly impressive.The shadows bring volume and contrast to the scene. The space seems uninhabited and dehumanised while also portraying the everlasting affect humans have on the landscape of the earth. Patrick Cornillet was exhibited with the Gallery during Art Paris, Scope Basel, Art Copenhagen, Slick Paris and Brussels, as well as on numerous occasions during St-Art Strasbourg. There is no sense to the concrete constructions as many of them are very difficult to imagine what the building actually looks like. This perception is a juxtaposition of familiarity and strange depictions. In my images, although i am taking photographs not painting, i explored this interesting affect of the absence of surroundings around a piece of architecture. |
