 Dewayne Flowers also known as
"D" is what I will generally answer to. So, what is there to
know about me? I am a recent graduate of Columbus State University and
am considering going for my Masters at an undetermined time at an
undetermined school. I currently work as a graphic designer for a news
paper in my area of LaGrange/Pine Mountain/Columbus, GA and I am
planning a move to Atlanta or a larger city somewhere in another state
soon. Why do I do what I do? Well see below for that answer. I have had
one show which can be seen by CLICKING
HERE and I have another one in the works. Look for a book to be out
(maybe) sometime around 12-2003 Not much more to put here unless someone
asks me something, I dont mind answering questions, but I have a hard
time just going on about myself with out someone asking me something.
So, why do I shoot nudes and paint on people? Well, why not? The human
body is THE work of art that will never be replaced. However, I love to
enhance works that I see and to me the human form is the best canvas
that one could work on. Watching the model become part of the art
dimension that we as humans are not supposed to experience as they
embrace and explore the fantasy, their sexuality, and being part of the
color spectrum becomes part of the work just as much as the photograph
does. There is no emphasis on skin color or sex, only emphasis on color
and form and how they relate to each other within different compositions.
When one becomes the canvas and then the work, they are not thinking
about the world around them, or about being nude they are simply the
work. Stripping off the clothes to become a painting strips off the
bills that are due, the spouse that won't listen, the class you are
failing and the world around you for, if anything, a moment you wont
forget. One moment, life is nothing but a series of moments. What were
your moments like?
