Vintage Nudes Series:
Artist/photographer Bob Worthy's depictions of life and the figure allow viewers the opportunity to identify with broader notions of time and existence. His alternative processes photographic works are figurative masterpieces of shape and space that beautify an intimate subject matter, the unclothed human form singularly and in pairs. Employing a dramatic use of positive and negative space Worthy presents the body as pure form, thus transcending the personal identity of his subjects.
The intuitive elements of his work combined with the primal settings of nature that he seeks out for many of his nude models, sometimes takes the images farther and farther away from reality and into a mythical time and space. “I am often so lost in the process that those subtle nuances that come together surprise me when I view the finished product.” |
