Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick
Joshua Bleeding Heart, Jack in the Pulpit (Color Archival Pigment Print)

2015

About the Item

Archival pigment print, 10 x 10 inches on 17 x 22 inch paper ($2000) Also available in 24 x 24 inches ($3500) and 32 x 32 inches ($4500) Composed in a warm palette of ivory, pink, olive, beige, umber, and deep blue, this photograph by artist duo Kahn & Selesnick combines the classically beautiful with hints the carnivalesque. The image depicts a young man from the waist up who is donned in period dress and floating in a shallow pool. He is surrounded by flora. Part of Kahn and Selesnick's Dreams of a Drowning World series, this image is a single thread to be woven into a greater narrative. Artist statement on Dreams of a Drowning World: The contemporary saga of collaborative duo, Kahn & Selesnick, continues to evolve as the artists release new images from Dreams of the Drowning World. The visual narrative speaks to the delicate balance between nature’s luscious beauty and the threat of its loss. The defeat illustrated between man and nature is stunningly beautiful as the characters are surrounded by abundant flora and objects of their past-time amidst the rising waters. The mid-19th century painting of a drowning Ophelia is referenced in the six foot tall prints of vertical God-like figures, appearing peaceful and dreamlike as they float in a motionless marsh. Smaller, arch-topped vignettes offer a reverent view on figures that lay in a transcendent state of surrender. This elaboration on the Truppe Fledermaus series is perhaps proof of the artist’s deeply imaginative, if cautionary, contemplation.
