Legacy

Contemporary artist CJP fuses black and white photography with intricate illustration to create an aesthetic that sits at the seam of reality and reverie.

His work reflects a passion for the natural environment, incorporating hidden narratives into his hide-and-seek paintings and prints.

Legacy explores the relationship between man and moon, fusing the lunar orb with a human skull.

Receding into shadow, the surface of the skull is brightly lit, and in the contrast between light and dark the pitted texture of its crater-covered terrain is revealed.

Masquerading as documentary photography, Legacy is a shock-inducing memento mori for the twenty-first century.
