Jamie Salazar Profiles Robert and Shana Parke-Harrison
The very narrative works from the husband and wife
team of Robert and Shana Parke-Harrison reflect not only visual stories that
are relatable to the majority of us, but they are represented in a dream-like
visual presentation.
Works from their
most famous series Architect’s Brother, reflect this successfully. The series not only reflects these narrative
images in a surreal, almost dark way, but in a manner that results in the
timeless representation of theme and content.
The viewer is left to make their own connection with what appears to be
a very relevant, industrial image presented to them in a more surreal fashion. It is hard to place these works in any one type
of category, but the fact is you cannot stop looking at them and uncovering
different aspects and viewpoint to them.
The works could take place in any era or any time, even with some of the
aspects tasking the viewers mind into the future. It is that contrast which holds the viewers
interest. There are two links in which I
have posted below for more information and to get a better look at these works.
