Expressive Underwater Photos Inspired by the Grandeur of Baroque Paintings
The ocean flows with metaphors. It can be calm and tempestuous, liberating but also stifling. Water represents birth and renewal. For over 20 years, artist Christy Lee Rogers has been fixated on water and crafting images within it. Now, ART LABOR Gallery in Shanghai is presenting a major retrospective of her work titled Aqueous Renaissance, which highlights her singular vision of photographing bodies and fabric underwater with a grandeur that recalls Baroque-era paintings.
