Artist - Dominic Rouse (1959)
"Dominic Rouse's photographs offer glimpses into the intricate tapestry of human emotions, desires and vulnerabilities that reflect the complexity of our unconscious egos.

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 digital technology and the timeless qualities of large format photography.
