Joseph Desler Costa Color Photography

Joseph Desler Costa is an American-Italian artist who works in photography, video and new media. Costa’s practice explores ideas of consumerism, pop culture, nostalgia and desire. His works often use the language of commercial imagery to examine the aesthetics of material culture, notions of luxury and the ways in which perceptions of reality bend under the forces of commerce. Employing multiple exposures, re-photography, cut paper constructions, as well as die-cut layered prints, Costa produces photographs and films that appear almost entirely machine-made, revealing, questioning and embracing illusions of transcendence and transformation offered by mass production and consumerism. Costa’s photographic works are held in numerous permanent collections, including the Leonard Lauder Collection in New York City, the Cleveland Clinic Art Collection in Cleveland, Ohio, the BNY Mellon Collection in New York City, the Bidwell Collection, New York City and the collection of the International Center of Photography in New York City, among others. Costa has curated and organized a number of exhibitions, books and zines including group exhibitions at Baxter St. Camera Club of NY and Foley Gallery, New York City. In 2014, Costa founded the imprint Silent Face Projects. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York and is a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts and the International Center of Photography. He holds an MFA from ICP-Bard College and attended the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión in Cuba.

Addisonjones artwork, Rise Up contemporary artwork A R T I S T S T O R Y: “As I walked back through the fields of my grandparents' farm before we sold it, a sense of nostalgia washed over me. Memories of my childhood flooded back, reminding me of the simpler times when I would visit Grandpa in his cabinet wood shop or swing on the porch with Grandma, watching the hummingbirds feed. Life was all about the simple moments, and while I often got bored, it forced me to contrast constant stimulation with a state of peace and freedom. This boredom expanded my creativity in different ways.” This stunning print printed on acrylic is a piece that captures the essence of the beauty of used material. These pieces have hardware on the back and ready to be hung.With only 25 prints available, this is an opportunity to add a truly unique piece to your collection. You can purchase individually or as a collection. ADDISON'S FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY: Addison’s earliest expedition into fine art photography was through her inspiration of adding prints to create depth and drama in showroom booth designs. These images were captured during her deeply personal journeys of exploration and were never meant to become a collection, but as interior designers expressed...

Leaf House
By Julie Blackmon
Located in Sante Fe, NM
Reviewing the photographs of Julie Blackmon, critic Leah Ollman of the Los Angeles Times wrote: “Each frame is an absorbing, meticulously orchestrated slice of ethnographic theater … that abounds with tender humor but also shrewdly subtle satire.” Blackmon is a native of Springfield, MO, and her photographs are inspired by her experience of growing up the oldest of nine children—including five sisters—in what she calls “a generic American town in the middle of the U.S.” In college, Blackmon was introduced to the work of artists Sally Mann, Diane Arbus, and Helen Levitt, and she describes herself as “obsessed” with their images. “When my three children were small,” she recalls, “we moved into an old house with a darkroom in the basement. Like any mother, I wanted to take pictures of my kids. But I didn’t want to be just the ‘mother photographer.’ I wanted my work to be more: more penetrating, more artful, more striking, more thoughtful, more a reflection of the times. “Over the next few years, I progressed from making documentary black and white photographs of my life and the lives of my sisters to creating colorful, fictitious images that offered a more fantastical look at everyday life. My work became more conceptual, as I began to realize that I was not obligated to capture “reality” exactly, but that I could work more like a painter or a filmmaker, actively shaping the images I was creating. This realization—that fiction can often capture the truth more memorably than reality—was a major shift in how I saw the world around me, and it transformed my work.” “It’s thrilling to see the most common aspects of everyday life as potential stories or themes for a photograph. It changes how you see things: suddenly, a Starbucks employee on a smoke break, or an outmoded beauty shop catering to an elderly clientele, can spark a memorable image. As Nora Ephron...
