JEROME ABRANOVITCH



JEROME ABRANOVITCH is a Montreal based photographer.

"For the past 14 years, he has evolved from an underground artist shooting personal & documentary work to a commercial photographer taking on the worlds of entertainment, sports, fashion and advertising.

Jerome’s inherent nature to seek, explore and be that which is different has gained him the kind of recognition and marketable appeal that can only be attained by such an unconventional and driven individual. The stark honesty of his photographs is testament to who he is as an artist, the eccentric characters that surround him and the intimate bonds they share.

His work and his own image are well recognized in Europe, Japan, not to mention the Americas... at least in the right circles. Jerome moves seamlessly between object, subject, voyeur, and documenter.

Jerome’s extreme creativity has been immortalized twice in the Guinness World Book of Records; he has been featured in media worldwide such as Ripley's Believe it or Not, the Learning Channel, the Ricki Lake Show, Pro-Sieben in Germany, Medical Incredible in Australia, on top of countless magazines and internet sites. He is also notoriously known as the cover model for the Modcon Books (North American & Japanese editions) documenting the Modern Primitive 2.0 movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Exhibitions include the Quebec City Museum of Civilization and a solo exhibit at Montreal’s legendary underground Foufounes Électriques.

Jerome is currently working on new pieces for his Mannequin Series, as well as traveling the world to shoot his eccentric collection of friends." (JEROME ABRANOVITCH)

Jerome is currently seeking representation.

DOMINIC WILCOX


"DOMINIC WILCOX is an artist who works within the territory of the 'everyday'. Everyday objects, environments, buildings, human interaction, no area of normality is out of reach. His work, which is usually layered with an ultra dry wit, places a spotlight on the banal, always adding a new, alternative perspective on things we take for granted. His work has been published and exhibited extensively around the world and he continues to develop his work in all fields of creativity.

After studying a degree in Visual Communication at Edinburgh College of Art, followed by a period of time living in Japan, Wilcox later undertook an MA at the Royal College of Art on the renowned Design Product course led by Ron Arad. After leaving the RCA in 2002, he started a partnership called Mosley meets Wilcox. One major MMW project was a collaboration with Rock photographer Mick Rock which ended in a collection of objects exhibited in Sept 2004.

Since going solo in 2005 Wilcox has worked on his own projects as well as major art commisions for organisaions such as Nike, Vipp and Esquire. In 2009 he started an ideas site called Variations on normal, where he puts his sketchbook ideas and observations. He is currently developing new work, experiments and ideas." (wilcox)

CHRISTOPHE KUTNER



I love CHRISTOPHE KUTNER's photography. And his style is so eclectic that I couldn't decide which series of pictures to present you here. I am presenting the series HOLIDAY, because I liked the softness, love, joyness and hapiness coming through the pictures, but a visit on his site to see his other works is very worth it!
