Gerhard Clausing

Gerhard (Gerry) Clausing was already fascinated by photography as a youngster, initially using a simple Bilora Boy camera, and then acquiring a keener vision and better equipment as time went by.

His images are metaphorical; he invites the viewer to participate in the creative process by inspiring imaginative reactions to his images. Tension, distortions, and ambiguous juxtapositions ask the viewers to find their own personal meanings. The images hover between the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the unreal, with a touch of the surreal.

His images of the close up body parts are of an abstract view, they make really interesting images. With the images being in black and white they draw you in more to the detail with your imagination working out what exactly the image is of. The images have been took in the studio using controlled lighting. I would like to do a series of images in the same style close up's of body parts, the textures of skin and the wrinkle lines make beautiful abstract images.
