American artist Jeff Bark’s series of elaborately constructed photographs depict contemporary urban motifs, such as the debris of American consumerism with an opulent, Dutch master quality of light and tone. In his seductive, allegorical portraits Ingres’ La Grand Odalisque, Eric Fischl, the Brothers Grimm, and David Lynch meet. Bark creates mysterious tableaus, exploring exterior and interior, myth and desire. Jeff shows in Museums and galleries worldwide and works for clients such as Dazed and Confused, AnOther, Dust, V magazine, LVMH, Mercedes Benz, and Droga5.
