L.E.S Artistes#14

WALTER MARTIN & PALOMA MUNOZ

Walter and Paloma have sculpture and arrange miniature, three-dimensional scenes of alienation, dread and dark humor and set them inside snow globes. Like fairy tales or dreams they construct trancelike, metaphorical panoramic photographs and snow globes. The photographs are also influenced by pictorial Chinese landscape painting which use negative space as atmosphere and small figures in wide expanses. The images tell expressive tales of lonesome travelers in the frozen wilderness that contain an arctic topography of snow-clad hills, boulders and dead trees where one or more tiny sculpted people are passing through or stranded. The result is a stage everyone is bound to enter when life has lost its warmth and promise, at which point finding a new way becomes desperately urgent.
