Description: A R T + G R A F T G A L L E R Y E D I T I O N S PUBLISHING VISIONARIES IN PHOTOGRAPHY 'Cloisterphobia' (2000) " The truth is the only lie worth telling." THE IMAGE Title - Cloisterphobia (2000) Artist - Dominic Rouse (1959) "In each artwork, Rouse challenges conventional notions of beauty, constructing compositions that tantalize the senses and ignite the imagination. By distorting figures, merging multiple images, and introducing symbolic objects, he blurs the boundaries between fantasy and reality, urging us to re-evaluate our perceptions and embrace the enigmatic nature of existence." THE PRINT A hand-made, toned silver gelatin darkroom print from a digitally composed 5" x 4" negative printed onto Ilford warmtone semi-matt paper. The toner used is thiocarbamide which gives the print its beautiful warm tones and also increases the archival qualities of the print by removing most of the silver-halides from the emulsion layer.

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. MISSION The aim of ART + GRAFT Gallery Editions is to provide collectors of fine art photography with elegantly crafted photographic art at a fair and reasonable price.
