Bobby Doherty, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking still life photograph by Bobby Doherty presents a surreal arrangement of organic and fabricated objects against a dual-tone blue background. On the left, an orange slice is encased within an irregular, translucent mass resembling wax or ice, embedded with reddish fragments. Next to it, a dark glass goblet holds pale spherical items and a textured orange sphere. Below, a glass of yellow liquid sits alongside a dark roasted cut of meat and fleshy, worm-like pink forms. The composition employs hard, direct lighting that casts distinct shadows across the pale blue surface, emphasizing the glossy and gelatinous textures of the various elements. The overall aesthetic is distinctly sculptural and experimental.
