Nia Mora Photography

American, b. 1984

Nia Mora is an American photographer, artist and chef. Now living in Australia, she focuses her commercial work towards her passions of food, wine and travel. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, her father is the jazz percussionist Francisco Mora Catlett and she is the granddaughter of artist Elizabeth Catlett and painter Franciso Mora. She states, "As an artist with a mixed cultural background, I have become interested in exploring the inner workings of the human imagination, the subconscious and dream-like states of mind. Through my photographs, I try to do this poetically with the use of surrealist motifs such as symbolism, magic, alchemy and the abstraction of time and space. Much of it can be attributed to the mysticism that exists in Mexican folklore. My art also draws from the indigenous sense of spirituality to evoke a sort of ceremonial happening in my images. Thus, the characters portrayed in my photographs can be considered apparitions of the spiritual world and the unknown. In my images, the lines of reality are obscured, and life and death become manifestations of one central idea. Color has also captivated me as an artist. It is a physical representation of the vibrancy and passion of Mexico and can be found in every aspect of its culture. Focusing upon the use of color in Mexico has given me a tool with which I use to further dramatize the visual impact of my work."

Russian Samizdat Art Pioneers Conceptual Photo Photograph Gerlovin & Gerlovina
Located in Surfside, FL
Greetings, 1992 Photograph 10.25 h × 7.5 w in (26 × 19 cm), Frame 11 x 8 inches Photo mounted to foamcore and framed behind acrylic Hand signed and dated 'Rimma and Valeriy 1992'; Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin were founding members of the underground conceptual movement Samizdat in the Soviet Union, described in their book Russian Samizdat Art. Based on a play of paradoxes, their work is rich with philosophic and mythological implications, reflected in their writing as well. Their book Concepts was published in Russia in 2012. The work by Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin is emphatically contemporary. The artist couple were part of the Moscow Conceptualists, their performance Costumes, from 1977, deepened their ongoing work with linguistic semiotic systems and their own bodies. Considering the context in which Gerlovina and Gerlovin made their work—that of political restrictions on public life, of unfreedom, and censorship—their collaborative togetherness must also be read as a space of possibility for political community and resistance. Rimma Gerlovina’s hair is featured prominently in the art of the Gerlovins as a constructing element of the body. Used for the linear drawings her braids transmit transpersonal waves reminiscent of an aura of live filaments. Long loose hairs function as threads of life; streaming in abundance, they allude to Aphrodisiac vitality and Samsonian strength. On the other hand, they are the haircloth worn during mourning and penitence. In New York they continued to make sculptural objects, and their photographic projects grew into an extended series called Photoglyphs. In their photographs, they use their own faces to explore the nature of thought and what lies beyond it. Since coming to the United States in 1980, they had many exhibitions in galleries and museums including the Art Institute of Chicago. The New Orleans Museum of Art launched a retrospective of their photography, which traveled to fifteen cities. Group exhibitions include the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum, New York, Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Washington D.C., Bonn Kunsthalle, Germany, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, and others. Samizdat or “self-published” began in the Soviet Union, and Samizdat art consists mainly of books and magazines published and distributed by the artists who made them. Samizdat art has sources in the innovative books and magazines turned out by the early 20th century Russian avant-garde—artists and writers like Olga Rozanova, Vladimir Mayakovsky, El Lissitzky, and Alexander Rodchenko. Artists as varied as Alexander Archipenko, Leon Bakst, Marc Chagall, Naum Gabo, Alexandra Exter...
