Vincent van Gogh Gallery - Welcome! Andy Goldsworthy Digital Catalogue: Home egon-schiele Electrifying Photography Robert Buelteman uses high voltage photography Forget the notion of a reverent nature photographer tiptoeing through the woods, camera slung over one shoulder, patiently looking for perfect light. Robert Buelteman works indoors in total darkness, forsaking cameras, lenses, and computers for jumper cables, fiber optics, and 80,000 volts of electricity. This bizarre union of Dr. Frankenstein and Georgia O’Keeffe spawns photos that seem to portray the life force of his subjects as the very process destroys them. Buelteman’s technique is an elaborate extension of Kirlian photography (a high-voltage photogram process popular in the late 1930s) and is considered so dangerous and laborious that no one else will attempt it-even if they could get through all the steps. Buelteman begins by painstakingly whittling down flowers, leaves, sprigs, and twigs with a scalpel until they’re translucent. Via Wired

The detail, color and realism of Steve Hanks’ paintings are unheard of in this difficult medium. A softly worn patterned quilt, the play of light on the thin veil of surf on sand, or the delicate expression of a child. Steve Hanks was born into a military family in San Diego in 1949. The family was transferred to New Mexico when Steve was a junior.

John Currin JOHN CURRINTapestry, 2013 Oil on canvas 48 1/8 x 34 inches (117.2 x 86.4 cm) © John Currin Photo by Rob McKeever John Currin Listed Exhibitions (32 Kb)John Currin Bibliography (49 Kb) John Currin's ambitious paintings seduce, repel, surprise, and puzzle. His masterful technique is achieved through the scrutiny and emulation of the compositional devices, graphic rhythms and refined surfaces of sixteenth and seventeenth century Northern European painting, while his eroticized subjects exist at odds with the popular dialogue and politics of contemporary art. John Currin (b. 1962, Boulder, Colorado) received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and an MFA from Yale University.
