Sabine Dehnel: Camouflage

Camouflage

Sabine Dehnel will present several large-scale photographic works that continue her examination and oscillation between media and their various effects.

Using models as her subject matter, she paints on their bodies, accentuating their flesh and causing them to become expressionistic and somewhat grotesque versions of themselves. The model is subsequently posed in a setting that has also been altered and painted in a similar manner and then both are photographed creating a work that appears to reside equally between painting and photography. Although eschewing the tools of digital photography, she creates effects that in the current photographic climate appear to be digitally rendered, but in fact are traditionally obtained.

Sabine Dehnel lives and works in Wiesbaden, Germany
She has exhibited at Galerie Schuster, Frankfurt, Galerie Asbaik, Copenhagen, Galerie Schuster & Scheuermann, Berlin, and Rebecca Ibel Gallery, Columbus, OH,
