The Stunning Art of Gemma Land; Metamorphosis, A Photographic Series

Fusing photographic art with fashion, award-winning British artist Gemma Land draws inspiration from architecture, using symmetry to create impossible structures and hallucinogenic patterns. Her aesthetic lies between the romantic and gothic, with stunning imagery. Gemma is keen to push the boundaries of photographic print in fashion and exhibit her artwork in galleries around the world.

Gemma Land's first collection, Bourgeois Utopias, features digitally printed black-and-white images of English suburban houses. Her second collection of print silk scarves is a series of monochrome and color prints of London's much-loved Strawberry Hill House. Printed with the finest quality and hand finished in Britain, the Strawberry Hill collection features Land's unique style, fusing her photographic art with the function of scarves.

Gemma Land is one to watch: she has won recently the Wolf & Badger Graduate Design award and she was shortlisted at the 2011 Fashioning The Future Awards.

For the Strawberry Hill collection, the artist collaborated with film-maker Xu Ming Long Tong to create a set of images inspired by Land's designing methods. The results are these stunning metamorphic shapes.

Karen Knorr: "India Song", the Panchatantra of the 21st century

Like the pioneering early photographers who found in India a wealth of exotic subject matter, Karen Knorr celebrates the visual richness found in the myths and stories of northern India using sacred and secular sited to highlight caste, femininity and its relationship with the animal world. Interiors are painstakingly photographed, live animals are inserted into the architectural sites, fusing high resolution digital with analogue photography. In India Song, Knorr's most recent work, each finished photograph is both a mystery and a fable - referencing the vast tradition of picturing animals in art along with the western appreciation/appropriation of eastern culture and form. The results create original and stunning images that reinvent the Panchatantra (an ancient Indian collection of animal fables) for the 21st century and further blur the boundaries between reality and illusion.

Based in London, Karen Knorr was born in Frankfurt, Germany, raised in San Juan Puerto Rico, and educated in Paris and London. Widely exhibited in Europe and India, India Song is the artist's first solo show in the United States. This past October, this series was nominated for the 2012 Deutsche Borse Photography Prize - Europe's most prestigious award for a living photographer who has made the most significant contribution to the medium of photography over the past year.
India Song is currently showing at Danziger Gallery, New York.

Cooper & Gorfer: " My Quiet of Gold," a journey in rural Kyrgyzstan

Cooper & Gorfer consists of the two artists Sarah Cooper (USA, 1974) and Nina Gorfer (Austria, 1979). With their backgrounds in art, architecture, graphic design and photography, they began their collaboration in 2006. Their work belongs to a narrative tradition within photography existing at the intersection of contemporary photography and 18th and 19th century painting. Place and story are the catalysts of their work, transforming narrative and memories into images that are digitally processed to create painterly collages.

For their exhibition My Quiet of Gold, Cooper and Gorfer traveled to the rural areas of Kyrgyzstan to collect sagas and stories in conversations and interviews with local inhabitants. Out of these tales, the duo created striking photographic portraits that go far beyond mere documentation to tell and visually interpret romantic-melancholy stories of love, sorrow, and betrayal in a completely new and non-linear ways.

"Like the portrait in Oscar Wilde's novel 'The Picture of Dorian Grey', our images show more than just an objective view of the person portrayed. Instead, they also depict something we cannot see - the past, the insubstantial and intangible, where the life and sentiment of the person photographed are woven together with our perception and experience of the moment. In the end, our pictures are the stories' beautiful remains."
~~ Cooper & Gorfer


Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer live and work in Gothenburg, Sweden.


My Quiet of Gold is an exhibition from the renowned Hasselblad Foundation in Gothenburg, and is currently on view at Gestalten Space, Berlin. A book of the same name has also been published, and is available through the gallery.

Dog Days, Silly Dogs by Gandee Vasan

Being a dog lover, I can't resist blogging on the four legged creatures when I came across these striking images from award winning photographer and artist Gandee Vasan.

Gandee combines fine art background with photographic and cutting edge digital manipulation skills, specializing in expressive animal photography. Originally a talented painter, he uses his artist's eye to "paint in" the most subtle nuances of the animal's expression in post production, lifting a good image into something really impactful. Gandee Vasan has received numerous awards such as The Royal Society of Portrait Painters Prize, AOP awards and more.

Gandee has also published several books on dogs and cats. His work has been exhibited at the National portrait Gallery in London and the Association of photographers gallery and his limited edition prints are in private collections and galleries.

Gandee Vasan lives and works in London.
