painted photography

Cool painted photography series by John Armstrong and Paul Collins. Lens Culture writes about this series:

Cache-misère translates into English as ‘band-aid solution,’ and refers to a coat worn to hide shabby attire. cache-misère is the title of a series of colour photographs on which we paint images, text and swatches of colour. Our photographs and painted images record places, events and objects we come across in the course of our daily activities. The photographs are compositionally completed by the addition of painted elements that, to varying degrees, obscure the underlying picture. The painted images most often represent domestic bric-a-brac painted either from observation in the manner of a traditional still life or copied from illustrations. Our painted photographs are no longer seamless windows onto reality, but assume a new logic where any editorial narrative is complemented by the associative synergy found in abstract painting.

taken from lens culture.

…drumroll
