Opening this week at P.P.O.W. in New York is a brand new exhibition from Dutch photographer Teun Hocks appropriately titled New Works. Hocks himself will attend the opening reception on January 8, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

This exhibition will be Hocks’ eighth solo exhibition at P.P.O.W. and will present a series of his latest drawings, photographs and videos. Hocks’ unique creative processes are what allow him to create magnificent surreal works that showcase the hand of the artist in his display of ‘constructed imagery’. By first developing his photographs in black and white and later adding color by oil paint himself, Hocks claims all control of his works and constructs a complex image reflective solely of the artist’s vision. These manipulated images highlight a disconnection with reality, and further emphasize the metaphoric implications of the staged scene.

i like this photo, and i’m particularly fascinated by the lack of detail surrounding boullet’s photographic series featuring kate. what happened to this girl? although i’m craving an explanation, or an artist’s statement of some kind, i’m intrigued by victor’s work. it’s a little thrown together at times, but some of the photographs are enchantingly sophisticated and produce an incredibly peculiar response. while you’re navigating around his page, also take a look at the oblivion series.

if you like victor boullet’s oblivion project, you might also be interested in taking a look at guillermo srodek-hart’s animalia series, as pictured above.

photos from alan taylor’s the big picture.

represented by white cube of london, taylor-wood’s photographs and videos are really where it’s at. take a look and see for yourself.

noah is the photographer that took pictures of himself for six years, and posted it all on youtube. somehow it went viral.. and 11 million views later, a lot of people knew his name. the six year thing is pretty impressive, although a little OCD, and his photography isn’t bad too bad either. here’s a link to his work so you can check it out.

One of the most influential photographers of the last half-century, William Eggleston has defined the history of color photography. This exhibition is the artist’s first retrospective in the United States and includes both his color and black-and-white photographs as well as Stranded in Canton, the artist’s video work from the early 1970s. Images and video on view November 7, 2008 – January 25, 2009 at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

more to come in this crazy portraiture series. stay tuned.
