• Robert Asman: The Art Of Alchemy

    Triangulated Torso

    ……….”Unlike the artist who composes with camera in hand, Asman creates his compositions in the darkroom, excavating the desired images from chemicals and paper negatives.  As a result, his lapidary figures are awash in a sensuous and shadowy sea, their distressed, crusty textures more like weathered stone or glazed donuts than skin.  Playing with scale and himself in negative space, he deconstructs the body, freeing it from conventional readings.”

    Judith Stein, Curator and Critic, PEW Fellowship

    “I also find the orgone energy associated with naked women and sex intriguing. I guess that is why I make pictures of nudes.” Robert Asman

    ………”I like the chemistry, magic, mystery, physics, materials of photography.” Robert Asman

    ……….”Its really the excavation of self or the alchemical process of changing one’s self or nature with the work….its psychological and based off the neurological feeling I would get of forcing/dragging/sculpting/coercing images out of photo paper in a ritualized manner in a cavelike darkroom.” Robert Asman

      hello smart little journal ya got right here :) I am using the same web theme on mine yet for whatever silly cause it seems to load sooner on this web site despite the fact that this site seems to have far more content. Are you currently using different plugins or widgets that speed it up? Do you think you could quite possibly write about the plug ins so that I can use them on my own online site so twilight eclipse followers could watch twilight new moon online trailers and videos faster I would be pleased – kudos ahead of time :)
