What is the power of an image? What does art do and how do artists harness the potential that lies within an image? What is like to view the image through the lens of the creator's eye - to see what they see and to get the artists' viewpoint through their own words? The Power of an Image is a book about images and artists that are playing a part in defining and reflecting the aesthetic world today. It presents views from the perspective of eleven pioneering artists that have emerged from art cultures around the world, communicating how they perceive the power of an image and where it fits within the context of contemporary culture. This book not only showcases the outlook, creation and genius of these artists - it transcends the everyday art experience of a museum visit. It offers insight into what goes on inside the minds of these vibrant and insightful individuals, and what they have to say can expand our knowledge and understanding of the world in which we live. The Power of an Image features insights and works by: Maria Teicher, Adam Miller, Mab Graves, Troy Brooks, Nicolas Otero, Sarah Joncas, Mai Ja, Gregory Euclide, Leah Giberson, Lauren Matsumoto and Laurie Lipton. Combined, the insights these artists offer provide a sophisticated perspective on the power and potential of an image.
