Vakre bilder / Photos as art

Kanskje har du sett noen av disse?

De dukker opp stadig oftere.

I magasiner -  på blogger: 

Bildene til kunstneren Vee Speers.

Dagens innlegg er viet hennes arbeid. :)

Den australske kvinnelige multikunstneren

ser ut til å ha truffet en nerve med bildeserien sin. 

"Birthday party." 

Med inspirasjon fra datterens eget bursdagsselskap,

har hun kreert en serie bilder av barn 

Utypiske bilder - som er vakre, 

men som gjerne også rokker litt med det vi forventer. 

Her: små barn med voksne uttrykk. 

Nesten litt uhyggelig?

Her er det hun skriver om sitt eget arbeid: 

I don’t like to follow the crowd.
I like to seduce, with images that are at once disturbing and beautiful,
but leaving a space for the viewer to enter my world.
My portraits combine elements which evoke conflicting
emotions that can surprise the viewer, telling a story that is somewhere
between fantasy and reality, the obvious and the unexpected.

må være flott å se samlet på galleri, tror du ikke?

Translation:
Loving the Photography series from Australian-born Vee Speers.

Australian-born, Parisienne photographer Vee Speer’s, has created a beautiful and grotesque series of photos entitled “The Birthday Party”, that depict small children in very adult-roles and who’s inspiration was derived by the birthday of her own daughter.”
Her work has been widely exhibited and has been seen in publications including The Sunday Times, Harpers + Queen, Arena, Esquire, and Black and White Magazine.

This is what she writes about her own work:
"I don’t like to follow the crowd.
I like to seduce, with images that are at once disturbing and beautiful,
but leaving a space for the viewer to enter my world.
My portraits combine elements which evoke conflicting
emotions that can surprise the viewer, telling a story that is somewhere
between fantasy and reality, the obvious and the unexpected."
