KISS GUSTAV by Lisa Powers<br />
Lisa Powers summarises<br />
her upcoming photographic<br />
art exhibition as a “veritable<br />
Gold Rush”, referring to the<br />
extravagant use of gold in the<br />
paintings of Gustav Klimt which<br />
inspired her new works.<br />
“KISS GUSTAV is my homage<br />
to Klimt and the Vienna<br />
Secessionists of 1893 -1903 who<br />
broke from traditional painting<br />
and paved the way for modern<br />
art,” she explains.<br />
Powers uses Klimt as her<br />
jumping off point, translating<br />
his paintings into photographic<br />
art, while remaining true and<br />
recognisably Klimt. She directs<br />
her models more as a film<br />
director than a photographer,<br />
suggesting scenes and emotions<br />
for them to interpret. The<br />
resulting images are ethereal,<br />
enigmatic, a bit surrealistic and<br />
always engaging.<br />
Her chosen technique is shooting<br />
with film then she adds textures<br />
and layers.<br />
Lisa is French-born but raised<br />
in New York. She worked as<br />
a commercial photographer<br />
for nearly thirty years, winning<br />
several prestigious awards<br />
throughout her career.<br />
In 2005, she relocated to New<br />
Zealand where she currently<br />
lives, and works primarily in Fine<br />
Arts. “KISS GUSTAV” is her fourth<br />
exhibition in New Zealand.<br />
