Ravished, Raped and Ripped
Construction Reconstruction
Tony Patterson
I shoot black and white photos and then hand color them and then digitally enhance them for completion. The first image is titled 'Raped, Ravished and Ripped'. This image was inspired from the Rape and mutilation of the Congolese Women and Girls.
The second image is titled 'Destruction Reconstruction'. This image was inspired from man's destruction of the earth.I create from life experiences, these are my most socially conscious pieces.
Bio
I take great pride in proclaiming that I am a self taught artist. I can certainly boast that I have studied the works of The GREATEST such as: Richard Avedon, Pete Turner, Hiro, Scuvallo,Gordan Parks and Mr. Zone System - Ansel Adams.
I've finally have established my niche in the art community. I love photography. I love painting, I love technology. I love them all equally. I merge them equality
