Bruce Charlesworth American
Not on view
Charlesworth’s staged photographs take their inspiration from the realm of pop culture. A student of acting, the artist casts himself variously as victim, suspect, and private eye in anxiety-laden scenarios culled from the stock characters of pulp detective stories and film noir. Here, an unseen gunman has Charlesworth up against the wall in a classic "stick up." The arms of the artist-as-everyman flail against the garish blood-red backdrop to produce an image of near-comical fear.
