Dulce Pinzón Practical Magic

Named one of the fifty most creative Mexicans in the world by Forbes Magazine, Dulce Pinzón’s photographs hover in the liminal space between reality and fantasy. The concerns addressed in each image are very real – racial prejudice, low-paid workers, environmental damage – but they are presented as latter-day fables that entice the eye with a view to capturing the imagination and so engaging the mind.

Dulce Pinzón reveals the stories behind her magical imagery at Talking Pictures.

New #BehindTheLens #photographerinterview with @leviwaltonist from #Panama — interviewed by @kaylareefer. KAYLA: How would you describe the modern/contemporary art culture of Panamá? It is blooming, and at a very fast pace. "There's a lot of talent here, and it's starting to get more and more noticed. I am happy for where this is all going, and for being able to contribute to it." Where do you see the visual arts culture of Panamá in the future?

The Last Book

[talkingpictures2020]

Erika Diettes A Poet of Grief and Humanity

The work of Erika Diettes grows from the violence of the ongoing multilateral armed conflict in her native Colombia and the depravity of the Nazi’s ‘Final Solution’. To understand the profundity of these events, she focuses not on the horror of their execution, but on the depth of their human consequence.

To capture some sense of another’s grief is difficult indeed. Grief runs to the core. It is rarely on show. The remarkable achievement of this work is the way in which the artist understands that true human connection is a matter of fellow feeling, not pity. These are collaborative, shared processes that touch on the magnitude of grief while never sacrificing dignity to effect.

Erika Diettes speaks about the context and making of her powerful work at Talking Pictures.

Lara Wilde

Nocturnal Encounters

NIGHT. When the darkness enfolds you and the metronome of day is stilled. It is in this nocturnal dimension that the German artist Lara Wilde creates her radiantly melancholic work, the black of night a canvas on which she paints with light itself. Together, in the darkness, artist and subject have shared confidences, revealed themselves. But, while this informs the creative process, those secrets are not simply depicted. The undertow of narrative must be discovered, interpreted, inviting the viewer to reach empathically into the image. To share in each nocturnal encounter.

Lara Wilde shares the secrets of the night at Talking Pictures.

David Stephenson Of Heaven and Earth

David Stephenson’s photographs are about very big ideas: the endless tracts of the Antarctic icecap; the vastness of the starry heavens; the spiritual grandeur of the great domes of European sacred buildings; and the luminous complexity of the modern metropolis. While they are pleasing to look at, his images go far beyond the usual bounds of what we think of as beauty. They address a state of mind that, in the language of Western aesthetic ideas, is called the sublime: both spectacular and unnerving.

David Stephenson explores the making of his work and the ideas behind it at Talking Pictures.

Vic Bakin Past Imperfect, Present Tense

Much of the work of the Ukrainian photographer Vic Bakin explores the nature of fading and of becoming. In his early work he captured that brief period when an adolescent male reaches maturity – images that suggest the crosscurrents of newfound physicality and the undertow of uncertainty, of vulnerability.

As Russia’s full-scale invasion plunged Ukraine into outright war, he began a body of work that was to become ‘Epitome’. Recently published in book form, this award-winning series is an evocation of fading memories haunted by present realities. An elegy on a coming of age overwhelmed by the coming of war, of the landscapes of youth laid waste.

Vic Bakin discusses his expressively layered images at Talking Pictures.

Wendy Sacks Water and the Art of Healing

For Wendy Sacks, water has become an insightful metaphor and a medium for physical and emotional healing. She makes photographs that speak of the complex nature of human relationships, both light and dark. In each she employs the symbolic and physical qualities of water in one of its three states: ice, liquid, and vapour. Indeed, it was the property of water to free her own body from the thrall of gravity that first began her personal journey as an artist…

Wendy Sacks speaks about the importance of water in her image-making at Talking Pictures.

Abelardo Morell Grounding Landscape

Over a career spanning half a century, the distinguished Cuban American artist Abelardo Morell has continually experimented with the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities of the medium. In this interview we focus on work made in the past decade and a half. Work which explores the nature of colour and space through a layering achieved not in a computer but by reapplying some of the most fundamental properties of photography. The resulting images engender a powerful visual metamorphosis as colours combine and solid forms dissolve into each other. Echoing the visual language of Cubism, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionism, his painterly images reconceive still-life and landscape, as colour and form, near and far, vista and texture marry in the moment, grounded in the very nature of the photographic process itself.

Abelardo Morell discusses photography as a way to reconsider reality at Talking Pictures.

Pushpamala N. India’s Entertaining Iconoclast

The Phantom Lady, the spirit of erotic love, the goddess of Time and Destruction, the Countess of Castiglione (here), and the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama… these are just some of the characters recreated and performed by the Indian artist Pushpamala N. As one of the country’s pioneers of conceptualism, her work has had a deep influence on contemporary art practice in India. A feminist and provocateur, she seeks to subvert the male-dominated cultural discourse. Interestingly, she rejects the notion of ‘authenticity’ – the idea that there is a single underlying truth – preferring instead to understand the world as having multiple realities depending on the perceptions and perspectives of the viewer.

You can see the photographic work of Pushpamala N. and follow her conversation with Alasdair Foster at Talking Pictures.
