"Gabriel Brandt: I Adore You"
2000-07-07 until 2000-07-29
Fotocirle Gallery
Seattle, WA, USA United States of America

Gabriel Brandt's large color portraits feature nude subjects isolated against vestiges of rural scenery found on the outskirts of the contemporary American sub/urban landscape. The subjects all stand facing the camera, aware of being observed but neither uncomfortable nor concerned.

Brandt juxtaposes the familiar and the discrete in the strong presence of nature, making offhanded allusions to traditional standards of beauty and magnificence in context of the everyday, and the portraits become fleeting, temporary metaphors for a notion of self.
