Fernando Vicente

 

 Fernando Vicente is a Spanish painter and illustrator with several impressive anatomical series. The first, bordered below in black, was done around 2007-2008 and is called Vanitas.  The second, bordered in white, was done within the last few years and is called Venus.  I first heard about him through the Twitter/Instagram grapevine.  I love his work and love seeing the progress from series to series.  Sadly, I can't share much more info on him because what I can find is all in Spanish.  Definitely look into him though- make sure to visit his website here.     

Summertime, bitches

The Cat Scan

C'mon- cats on scanners? Hilarious and you know it. The Cat Scan

Immediate Family

Jessie's Cut, 1985

Recently I paged through Sally Mann's Immediate Family book. I've been a fan of this series since I first saw it my freshman year, but it was really nice to revisit it. These were a few of my favorite images. (Especially the one above- something about the starkness and ambiguity of that image absolutely mesmerizes me. And the soft spot in me loves that Jessie is spelled with an -ie like mine.)

White Skates, 1990

The New Mothers, 1989

The one above reminds me of my sister and me.

Hangnail, 1989

Night Blooming Cereus, 1988

Yard Eggs, 1991

Tobacco Spit, 1987

Love the glow from the baby in this photo.

Mann was featured in the first season of Art:21. If you somehow don't know the show then look it up- it's all interviews with all sorts of different artists about their work and their processes... it's amazing. This is a portion of her interview, although I definitely recommend looking up the whole thing. The whole episode is free on PBS's website.. start at chapter 6

Watch the full episode. See more ART:21.
