New and Improved Portrait Portfolio!
I have added quite a few new portraits to the portrait section of my website at www.chris-sanders.com. These images largely represent many of the artists that I have been photographing as part of a personal artists series. I have been really enjoying this series of environmental portraits. It’s great to meet many of the artists and discuss [...]
Wangechi Mutu at Deutsche Guggenheim
Wangechi Mutu was named “Artist of the Year” in the first exhibition in Deutsche Bank’s new “Artist of the Year” program at the Deutsche Guggenheim. Wangechi is one of the artists I have photographed for my artists series. I wrote about it earlier here. Her work is fantastic. If you are in Berlin, check it [...]
Artist Series: Lars Fisk
His pieces can be large and small but always made with the utmost care…. He works out of an outdoor space at the Socrates Sculpture Garden in Queens.
Artists Series: Visit with Pat Steir
Pat Steir has this fantastic studio on 26th street that is filled with light and has high ceilings which give her plenty of room to make her massive paintings…. To create some of her work, she throws the paint at the canvas in various ways to create her luminous patterns and shapes.
Artists Series: Delia Brown
I shot her in her Brooklyn studio in her paint clothes not the high end clothes of her alter-ego. She was working on the continuation of a series of images that are based on the film, “Les Bitches.”
Artist Series: TM Davy
He has covered the walls with his work including some paintings which are painted right on the walls!… He quickly sketches the sitter than later pain-stakiingly adds the Carvaggio touches that he is known for.
Artist Series: Melissa Brown
Melissa Brown is on the ground floor of an old foundry in Greenpoint. She has an outdoor area to carve her woodcuts.
Artist Series: Mickalene Thomas
But I couldn’t resist this fun shot of a very energetic and colorful artist…. She insisted that it was only this organized because she had just finished up a large show.
Artist Series: Pedro Bardeito
His previous show had a lot of grids and building perspectives to it echoing his early life as an architecture student…. That’s part of the fun of these studio visits-to see how their minds work as they figure out the next piece.
Artist Series: Kira Lynn Harris
When I first met her she was working with mylar reflections and how they distort and change your perception. She continues to work with light and reflective surfaces in another piece which splashes mesmerizing streaks up the wall.
