This print is a must-have for collectors who appreciate the intersection of natural history and contemporary art. About the body of work: Raw Ingredients Raw Ingredients began with Alex Geana's obsession with new materials, color exploration, and a desire for order in photography. After many years in fashion photography, Alex applied this sensibility to both exotic and everyday ingredients. Prepared foods held no allure; the perfection of a manicured soufflé was meant only for eating. Instead, he scoured New York City for compelling and perfect, as well as imperfect, vegetables, meats, and other items, finding inspiration everywhere from the Union Square Green Market to the hidden shops of Chinatown. Analyzing shapes, Alex built sculptures and photographed them. Much of the work was created on a light table with various color bases. There’s minimal Photoshop used in each piece, employing only the traditional tools of photography— dodging, burning, and slight contrast adjustments. The work relies on lighting, construction, and meticulous attention to detail. This body of work seeks to transform simple raw ingredients into graphic, distilled art. The results are sometimes perfect, often messy, but always infinitely intriguing.
