At the first glance, I would have categorized Kyle Thompson's artwork as surrealism, but he instead described it as "organic surrealism, since it is much more real and existent than surrealism is". In most of his work, Kyle creates art with people (a lot of times, himself) by placing them in a way that interacts or even corresponds to the given surroundings. He captures the essence and concepts of human activity in abandoned houses and nature, which is what makes his art stand out.
Wow! These are awesome and right up your alley. It's interesting to me that the concept behind them is similar to the tape sculptures, but the images are so different. Also, I wonder if the photograph is the final product or is it a performance?
ReplyDeleteKyle Thompson is so wonderful. I love that every shot seems like a new story of a new character. And the way that he can so beautifully tell these stories without identifiable characters--maybe just hands or legs or eyes. The ambiguity of the shot almost makes it more relatable.
