Title - Man eaten alive by chest of drawers whilst searching for a missing sock (1996)
Artist - Dominic Rouse (1959)
"In the history of photography, interest in the terrible inequality existing among human beings was passed from Brassai to Weegee before Diane Arbus confronted it. Dominic Rouse embraces it, not as a social but as an ontological experience. This is not mere spectacle or the staging of a weird, repressed universe but rather a sacred, essentially moralistic and messianic vision. These unusual beings illuminate and reveal humanity's potential destiny. As in all disputes between traditionalists and iconoclasts, Rouse's photographs are bound to incite passionate debate over the legality of images that confront the relationship between perversion and morality, matter and spirit, the secular and the divine." (Aasim Akhtar - The Friday Times, Vol. XXIII No. 42)

THE ARTIST
|
Dominic Rouse has been described as one of the most interesting photographers working today. He is a visionary in the truest sense of the word and his work probably has more in common with painting than photography. Brooks Jensen, the editor of America's LensWork Magazine, has said that Rouse does not take pictures of the world, he makes photographs of his mind. His unique vision and mastery of his craft set him apart from most of the other photographers who use the computer in their practice. His work may appear to be rooted in the past but it is the product of a seamless blend of the latest digital technologies and the timeless qualities of large format photography.
