About the Item

“So the object brings the subject to life not in its relative presence, but in its irreducible absence.” - Jean Baudrillaud, Integral Reality Michael James O’Brien draws inspiration from his diverse roles as a photographer, poet, and activist. His work often intersects with themes of identity, social justice, and cultural commentary. O'Brien produced a diverse body of photographic work, from still lifes and portraits to art documentation. He still uses film and works in medium and large formats. His themes are not classical, the artist prefers to portray extraordiary beuty, transgender people and still lifes. The artist's images have a sense of discovery and loss; absence and presence. From Still-life Series Printed on Hahnemuhle fine art photo rag paper Edition of 7 + 2AP
