Artist: Bensley and Dipré
A collaboration between photographer Nicola Bensley and artist David Dipré began during lockdown 2020.
As all else stood still around them, they began to develop a body of work combining their disciplines.
They quickly developed a visual language reworking the silver gelatin prints – painting, scratching and drawing into the photographic surface.
Their most recent work sees the camera turned on themselves. In these images they have created a dreamlike environment in which they explore perceptions of surface, space, time and representations of the human form.
