ABOUT THE ARTWORK

With all the trappings of your typical American girl and all the anti-gravitational effects of a dangling marionette, BARBIE IN A BOX portrays the suspended animation of an original “teen-age fashion model” through the plastic adolescence of a doll modeled on the gestures of a modern popular icon: Barbie. Crafted at the intersections of youth and adolescence, playfulness and professionalism, figure and figurine, it is impossible to know whether she is being bought or sold—or simply enjoyed—but we see the price tag and feel that Barbie has value, we believe that this little doll is worth something…. Between the flickering retreats of hieroglyphic hands, BARBIE IN A BOX re-animates the lifelike figure of Barbie with the like-life movement a body contained in a lifeless package—hermetically sealed-off from existence but always all-ready to play.

Chris Reisig and Leeza Taylor are American artists who have exhibited nationally and whose works have been featured in many magazines and international ads. They have sold their art to collectors worldwide. Animated through an assemblage of analog, digital, painted and lenticular photographic technologies, these selections from REISIG AND TAYLOR'S ( Chris Reisig and Leeza Taylor) Lenticular (3D) Collage reshape familiar images from the artists’ canon, transforming the power of the original photographs and the iconic figures they present through intoxicating re-presentations. One such iconic figure captured in the artists’ oeuvre, Frida Kahlo, appears alongside the lenticular pieces in a colorful series as a reminder of the persistent authority of popular icons, while implicitly demonstrating the breadth and depth of the artists’ work and their capacity to translate an individual image into a cultural artifact. However, the artists are not only interested in the power of individual figures or individual images which permeate their body of work; REISIG AND TAYLOR'S Lenticular (3D) Collage exemplifies and amplifies the evolution of their art, fusing a multiplicity of images and reimagining the space of photography through digital collage and lenticular technology. By interweaving and overlaying an amalgam of images, the artists create digital collages that blend photographs and paintings from their original canon of work. Combining at least 2-30 distinct images through digital interlacing, the collages are formed for lenticular printing through a precise arrangement of each image into slices or strips, which, through the interlacing process, are seamlessly spliced with an/other similarly arranged images. The lenticular print is then carefully applied to the lenticular lens so that the spliced strips or interlaces of the image are perfectly aligned with each strip of lens on the corrugated surface of the lens, creating the 3D effect of the lenticular by refracting the light reflected off the work into different directions from each perspective angle. The lenticular pieces collected here are particularly forceful in the way in which they antagonistically arrange the space of the body or multiple bodies in urban-architectural sites, merging contradictory images and sensations: isolation and population, decrepitude and grandeur.
