BUD (Series)
DESCRIPTION
These three photographs are from the series SONOROUS PLUMP. In this series, Eden uses photography to create distinctive forms that have a particular physical presence. There are clear references to the traditions of still life and figurative photographs meshed with the mood lighting found in Rennaisance painting. These practices are then combined and subverted to create images that are both enticing and unsettling.
AUTHOR
Eden has been creating his distinctive brand of still life photography for over a decade after a successful career as a film director.
His aim has been to challenge the perception of still life photography whilst making images that have a striking solitary power.
Eden creates strange transformed objects that he shoots simply in low-key light as if they are dignified subjects of a portrait painter. His work has a heavy dose of surrealism and a wonder for the natural environment.
