Savannah Spirit Art

American, b. 1975
Savannah Spirit is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, curator, and activist whose work moves fluidly across portraiture, landscapes, and activism. Savannah’s images navigates the in-between spaces of selfhood, autonomy, and transformation. Her series I Am My Own Muse challenges the traditional structures of the male gaze, positioning the female body not only as subject but as author. Assertive and unapologetic, the work reclaims self-representation as an act of agency. The series draws inspiration from feminist artists such as Carolee Schneemann and Francesca Woodman, while engaging the formalism of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn. Her photographs have been acquired by private collectors worldwide and are permanently installed at Tom Ford’s flagship store in Houston. From 2011 to 2017, Savannah created and curated Hotter Than July, a New York–based erotic art series that became a space of reclamation and resistance, where women reasserted control over their bodies, sexuality, and desire with autonomy and power. In 2020, she co-founded Don't Delete Art (DDA), an artist-led initiative that advocates for artistic freedom and challenges censorship on social media platforms, creating space for dialogue around visibility, community, and the rights of artists in the digital age. Her work has been featured in The Nation, Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper, W, Dazed, and Vice, among other publications. In 2023, she published I Am My Own Muse, a limited-edition monograph with Quiet Lunch. Savannah received her BFA in Photography at Parsons School of Design and received her MFA in Photography, Video, and Related Media at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

In this self portrait, Savannah Spirit turns the tradition of black and white female portraiture back on itself. The muse is the artist, and the gaze is her own. Through her artistic, social and curatorial projects, Spirit also takes on technology and social media censors, who assume that the unclothed body of a human, especially of those who identify as female, is pornography that must be controlled. Her artwork asserts that a woman is her own muse. Archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag.

Untitled

By Phil Marco

Located in New York, NY

Humorous subject matter. Face mounted Plexi. Aluminum Braced. Archival Print. ABOUT THE ARTIST Marco studied fine art at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. New York Times photography critic Gene Thornton called Marco “a Minimalist, whose images are sensual, whimsical, often surreal, always strong, and deceptively simple.” “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Phil Marco on a number of my films. Phil is a man of extraordinary talents. It seems that his passion is to take an everyday object or event, and show it in an entirely new and exciting way.” Martin Scorsese. Phil’s work is represented in MOMA, The Museum of the Moving Image, and The George Eastman Museum of Photography. His first photographs were studies for his paintings, before he launched a career in print advertising. He eventually became a Director / DP for film and television for a vast base of national and international clients with his wife Patricia as Partner and Producer. In the 1980’s and 90’s Phil was the go to person for Special Effects in Television and Cinema, also best known for his graphic conceptual still lives, and his consummate mastery of lighting, and design. He’s won many awards for his work, including numerous Cannes Lions, Cleo’s, a Grammy for his print work on the legendary “Tommy the Who...
