Spreading fear and mayhem in the visual arts.

Combining the mournful claustrophobia of her Xteriors series (bottom image), the romantic dilapidation of Te dí todos mis sueños, the frozen humanity of Gaze and the beautified insanity of Exaltation (top image), Desiree Dolron has truly created a photographic oeuvre that exists outside genre restrictions.

A selection of her work is currently on show at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Details below.

Oh, and btw, it’s probably not the brightest idea to steal her concepts, Richard Wathen. I have a sharp eye.

    IKR? I have submitted his work to Desiree but she hasn’t gotten back to me yet. It’s all very obvious though.

    Oh, btw, I’m not sure you noticed but the venue of the exhibition changed as it turned out that the previous listing was an unauthorised exhibition!
