I’ve recently enjoyed seeing artwork where photographs are used as the foundation for paintings. Charlotte Caron’s portraits are particularly beautifully executed with a mask-like effect. The artist says that the works “are trying to respond to a form of duality…ultimately creating an osmosis between the two mediums, between the animal and the portrait.” Found via I Need A Guide.

Scott Hazard is an artist and landscape architect who layers carefully torn photographs to create intriguing images such as this. I love how a portal has magically been created in a sealed door. Found via Colossal.

Amy Friend’s series “Daré alla Lucé” looks quite magical and I love the idea behind it. She explains: “Through small deliberate interventions, I altered these vintage images, allowing light to pass through them. (After all, photographs are made possible with light.) In a literal and somewhat playful manner, I aimed to give the photographs back to the light, hence the title of the series, Daré alla Lucé, an Italian phrase used to describe the moment of birth.” Found via curate 1k.

Valérie Belin’s project “Black Eyed Susan” combines photographic portraits of models with images of bouquets. The selective colour palettes and 1950s styling add to an unsettling feel of illusion and artifice.

Naomi Leibowitz created this project, entitled “Several Photobooth Interiors”. It features photos taken of empty photobooths, resulting in photo strips showing just the backgrounds. I think they’re powerful images - without the presence of a human face, there’s something quite haunting about them. Found via grapehouse.

Mark Mawson’s new series of underwater ink photographs is entitled Aqueous Fluoreau. I love the vibrant structural forms taken by the ink.
