Curated by Matthew Leifheit as part of CCNY’s Guest Curators Program, this exhibition presents five visually indulgent approaches to the contemporary photographic still life. Embracing humor with dazzling color and brilliant light, these emerging artists test boundaries between the studio and the natural word, blending broad strokes between the two. These still lives present the artists’ desires objectified and reconfigured to be universally relatable. In them, disparate banal objects are combined with abandon in order to create visual pleasure. Here is What You Want.
