The Dandy Collection
(2004 - on-going)
Landscape, human gesture and the figure in nature are at the core of this project. This on-going series of male portraits is informed by the sublime aesthetics traditionally employed by Romanticist painters, especially the work of Caspar David Friedrich. Seascapes, ravines, forests, parks, and gardens are the backdrops used to create life size images of posed lone male figures that gaze intensely at us. These individuals are meant to heighten an examination of personality, mental potentialities, isolation and human power.
