Sometimes I’m just not sure how the work of certain artists escapes my notice. Then one day, as I happen to be perusing Pinterest, searching for a home exercise regimen I just knew I saw but forgot to pin, I see an image that blows me away. Case in point: the image below by fine art photographer Tom Chambers.
Saccharine Perch, photo montage
Chambers’ fine art photo montages have a haunting surrealistic quality, but have a spiritual and ethereal quality that has a sentimentality to it that perhaps owes itself to one of Chambers’ influences, Andrew Wyeth.
Camouflage, photo montage
Chambers’ work also has the same soft muted colors and striking light as Wyeth’s, which adds to the dreamlike quality. Add to that their narrative nature makes them seem to me, like a fairy tale meets a folk song.
The Goatherd, photomontage
