In a post about tragicomic photo artist Teun Hocks, the topic of artistic photography was revealed. How does this happen? Before taking a picture, a plot is invented, sketches are made, objects are placed. The work of Robert and Shane is stylistically similar to the photo-hallucinations from Hawkes. Also, before taking a photo, Robert and Shana Parke Harrison are engaged in the construction of many objects and props to them. Next, they come up with a scene or landscape for each object. The works are filled with pain, frankness, love and concern for the world around him. Why work Robert and shana parke harrison called monochrome art photographs in the genre of mechanistic surrealism with the organic use of collage elements? Let's ask the maestro himself.
As Robert ParkeHarrison himself says: “In this artificially created world, strange clouds of smog are floating by, holes are made in the sky. These images mirror our world - a world in which, while mastering nature, it is subject to control and destruction. What the whole world breathes and lives with is destroyed. With my work, I explore and show the technology and poetry of human existence. Nowadays, this topic can seem heavy and deadly logical if it is displayed in the style of realism. For this reason, I chose the theatrical - absurd style."
It is thanks to the joint collaboration of husband and wife - Robert and Shane, that ParkeHarrison studio became famous. Their work can be found at the National Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian Institution, 18 solo and over 30 group exhibitions around the world. This is where, as inopportunely, the proverb comes out: "Husband and wife are one Satan"!
