Larry Bell
Larry Bell, born in Chicago in 1939, studied at the Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) in Los Angeles. He was part of the group of artists of the "light and space" movement which also included Robert Irwin, Billy Al Bengston and James Turrell. In his work Bell specifically examines how the advances of modern technology have changed the way in which human bodies interact, on a physical as well as psychic plane. He alters and manipulates the perceptions of his spectators, and challenges their conception of visual space and their relationship to it.
For his Untitled series for Graphicstudio, Bell used imagery made with a special, motorized camera that photographs 360 degrees; he achieved distortions by moving the camera while the shutter was open. The "Funhouse Mirrors" effect of the female nude is enhanced by Bell's choice of silkscreen and thick pink flocking, which lend a sixties psychedelic feel.
