About the Item

My artwork explores photographic perception and the physical and cultural formation of place. I am interested in photography’s ability to be both evidence of existence—creating an image with seeming veracity—and simultaneously, a system to mediate and construct reality. I use photography as a tool to observe and then digitally combine my photographs to construct imaginary spaces that through metaphor and illusion reveal both the desire and simulacrum present around us and within photography itself. Culling through thousands of individual photographs I make of architecture and landscaping, I digitally assemble these sources to create photographs of fictional spaces. Most of my digital collages are seamless enough so that on first glance they appear real and slowly through observation reveal their constructed, composited nature. My images are not documents of reality, but they could be thought of as documents of our contemporary, post-modern reality. -- Leigh Merrill

  • Flight of fancy
    By Maggie Taylor
    Located in Sante Fe, NM
    Maggie Taylor creates what she calls “dreamlike worlds inhabited by everyday objects.” To make her intricate compositions, Taylor collages a variety of images using digital technology. She begins with small pastel drawings to use as backgrounds, then scans each additional element into the computer and combines them using Photoshop, arranging figures much in the same way she creates still lifes in the studio. Finding inspiration in 19th-century photographs, taxidermy specimens, mounted insects, vintage toys, sea shells, feathers, and other artifacts she finds at flea markets, online auctions, and in her own backyard, Taylor creates surreal pigmented digital prints that call to mind tintype photographs...

Ceccarini offers the artists the opportunity to collaborate with some of the very best models he has worked with throughout his career to create an array of spectacular images. The Artist brings his own creative universe, techniques and palette, the Model their personality and body language. The model and artist interaction is key to the process. The temporary nature of the painting on human skin is captured and immortalized through Ceccarini’s lens to create the photographic artwork. Eric sets himself apart from others by shunning technical artifice and working in natural light, outside the studio. This results in soft, velvety, almost painterly images that amaze. Eric is a Belgian artist born in 1965. He gained a degree in photography from INFAC, Brussels in 1987, and has since then been a fashion photographer working with many of the top houses. Chopard, Elle, Marie-Claire, L’Oréal, Levi’s, Coca Cola, Virgin, Saab, Delvaux, Lowe Lintas and Ogilvy are just some of Ceccarini’s high-profile clients.
