ABOUT THE ARTWORK
My fashion photos feature two themes: 1. an exploration of motion, and 2. a portrayal of the models as workers in their workplace, with a focus on the relationship between their faces and the hands of those doing their hair and makeup. In the first concern, I recognized the potential for the early digital camera to capture motion in a still image, which resulted in many riffs on Duchamp’s iconic painting “Nude Descending a Staircase”, and an exploration of the concept of a one-frame film. In the traditional still portraiture, my desire was to capture models in natural moments when they were not engaged in presenting their commercial, performative, posed personas. “The thing that matters is not what they show me but what they hide from me and, above all, what they do not suspect is in them.” -Robert Bresson Captured alone or in conversation with their fellow workers during their pre-show process, their identities as commodity and celebrity are shed; in these photos they retain an anonymity as workers engaged in a social activity in the workplace. I seek to see past models’ performative personas, and to present a visual manifestation of their inner reality. My chief influence is Bill Cunningham, who always let his fascination and love of subject lead him, rather than any commercial or utilitarian concern. Andy Warhol's screen tests and experimental portraiture is also an inspiration. Cinematic portraiture, as seen, for example, in Bergman’s Persona is also an important influence.

Dean Radinovsky

I am an abstract painter who also does life studies and photography for both research and enjoyment. In my abstract work I strive for a contrapuntal, layered, structured denial of perceptual logic that allows the attentive viewer to achieve a Zen state, a floating dream condition that sidesteps rational thought and connects consciousness with the subconscious. Painting celebrates the prize of evolution: awakening. I was born in Lancaster, PA in 1971, and now live in Woodside, Queens. Among my influences are those I’ve studied with, including John Walker, Robert Birmelin, Robert Andriulli, Jenny Snyder, Cynthia Carlson, Jeri Robinson, Don Kimes, and Arthur Cohen. Artist Statement I always have many paintings in progress—large and small. Many works going consecutively allow for a succession of incremental changes. Large or small, the works may continue for years. Until the painting is resolved, what I see in the work is the springboard for reaction. As Georges Braque says: “the painting is finished when it has effaced the idea.” The works in progress are seen over time by my own shifting selves as I am shaped and influenced by others’ work, including literature, music, and film; and the changing light and seasons and the inflection of experience. The hours work in aggregate, and the information flowing out of the painting is stored by the collector’s subconscious to be consciously apprehended over time. I am also an art collector. Perhaps akin to the varied production of a novelist or filmmaker, my artistic production is varied and reflects different facets of my life and personality. I work on several parallel bodies of work that I can describe thusly: Painting as a poetic language The sculptural manifestation of painting as a process Love of film and portraiture Love of and inspiration by the female form, as a reflection of what that means historically and now. The interplay of light and structure --Dean Radinovsky Influences I haven't studied with: Sassetta, Monet, Balthus, Morandi, Cezanne, Braque, Marden; Dostoyevsky, Bolano, Flaubert; Robert Bresson, Jean Renoir, Jean Vigo, Antonioni, Ozu and many, many more.
