Monica Denevan

“Suspended, Burma 2005”

ARTIST STATEMENT

Monica Denevan’s intimate portraits depict the male figure within a spare and graphic river setting.  Her timeless photographs integrate expressive gestures of form with the natural environment creating a sculptural look and poetic resonance.  In a classical style, Denevan’s lyrical images are at once emotionally taut yet languid.
