Gerrit van Ommering – Confections, After Thiebaud

Description

Artist Statement

My photography preference is to make seriously manipulated, constructed, strange and abstract images of just about anything, but I do a lot of representational and lightly enhanced work as well; see my website focusedeclecticism.
com. I look for interesting objects, shapes, patterns, juxtapositions, and object arrangements that other photographers may pass by, and I especially focus on things that I can manipulate into unique interesting, radically modified images.
In my works for Eye Candy, I selected photographs of common subjects turned into displays of luscious and/or surprising colors and textures that may grab the viewers’ attention and possibly be worth an extended look. Some required significant effort to construct, some to turn into a painterly presentation, and some to give a totally different perspective on reality.
