Portrait Photography- Experimental

1. Cindy Sherman

3. John Stezaker

   • John Stezaker’s work re-examines the various relationships to the photographic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture.

4. Maurizio Anzeri

   • Maurizio Anzeri, an Italian-born artist who currently lives in London, takes vintage photographs and hand sews on colourful abstract patterns. Born in 1969, Anzeri studied at Camberwell Collage of Arts and the Slade School Of Arts.

5. Alexa Mead

   • In 2009, while finishing her degree in political science, Alexa Meade had an idea for an art project: what would it look like if she put black paint down on top of shadows? This question took her down a rabbit hole of experiments with painting on and people and objects that led her to develop an optical illusion for turning three-dimensional spaces into what appeared to be two-dimensional paintings. Since then, it has led her to some very unexpected places.

6. IIona Szwarc

   • Ilona Szwarc (b. 1984, Warsaw, lives and work in Los Angeles, CA) received an MFA in Photography from Yale University and a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. Her work explores ways in which female identity is constructed in the current cultural context.

7. Matthieu Bourel

   • The handmade, digital and animated collages of French artist Matthieu Bourel, currently living and working in Berlin, are based on the power of images and the diversions resulting from various visual combinations. He defines his work as ‘data-ism’, and when mixing elements, he often seeks to evoke a story that, although absent from the known reality, is powerfully present before the viewer and inspires ‘nostalgia for a period in time that never truly existed’.
