from Corvo Brothers Orphan Series... June 2009
In Orphans, we create dreamscapes that generate wonder. Simultaneously playful and sinister, these images suggest mysterious narratives in which children on their own make their own rules. Unexpected juxtapositions of the comic and the dark become refracted portraits of our own childhood. Each image in this series is a graft that fuses photography to painted backgrounds in order to create hybrid images that blend Victorian culture, Pop imagery, and the compositional aesthetics of the Renaissance and Baroque masters.
