Ken GRAVES
EN GRAVESのコラージュは、彼の頭脳と手先の機知と正確さを明らかにしている。20世紀初頭から半ばのアメリカの雑誌から拾い集めた写真を並べ替え、さまざまな素材を挿入することで、グレイヴスは解釈の物語の世界を開く超現実的なイメージを創り出す。ユーモアと鋭利なナイフを駆使したこれらのコラージュは、見慣れたイメージを不条理な構図に置き換えるファンタジーを通して、アメリカのポップカルチャーと理想主義を解剖する。ケネス・グレイヴスは1960年代にサンフランシスコ・アート・インスティテュートで学士号と修士号を取得し、現在はサンフランシスコのベイエリアに在住。1977年から2009年まで、ペンシルバニア州立大学で写真を教え、彼の作品は伝統的なドキュメンタリー・スタイルの写真から、スタジオ・ベースのコントロールされたスタイルへと移行した。彼のコラージュは、写真家、教授としての経歴を反映し、ビクトリア朝時代のペーパー・コラージュやシュルレアリスム・アートへのオマージュを捧げつつ、現代の状況についてコメントしている。グレイヴスのコラージュと写真は、ニューヨーク近代美術館、サンフランシスコ近代美術館、ブルックリン美術館、ヒューストン美術館、ジョージ・イーストマン・ハウス、パリ国立図書館など、主要な美術館に収蔵、展示されている。ケネス・グレイヴスはグッゲンハイム・フェローシップを受賞している(2001年)。
