Coffe + Design Talk presents Denis Sheckler

“We’re all constantly inundated with images, there is a common tendency, where even the most beautiful photographs with a variety of dialed parameters do not attract the proper attention, therefore it is necessary to invent something original, funky, and sometimes absurd things, which will make people look at the art of photography in a new way”, Denis Sheckler says. The author is not a professional artist, but spends most of his free time creating these fascinating and scary images.

The style of surrealism is clearly seen in these works. It is so fascinating to rediscover the connection between what is real in every day life and what is illusion - in the head of the artist.

“While the silhouettes are still of women, the faces disappear, erased and replaced by surreal inspired collage – featuring planets, stars, and even mysterious mists. Colourful and nightmarish, Denis Sheckler’s pieces evoke the surreal canvas of Salvador Dalí, inspired by his craziest dreams. ” (fisheye magazine.fr)

The best part of this images is the way they grab your attention - more than any ordinary photo, also transforming the identity of each person - focusing on clearing the face, is truly powerful - by creating an empty space inside the face we feel that we can look through this human identity.
