About the Item
Mere Mortal #4 (Archival Photograph of Male Nude in Islamic Window)
30 x 18 inches archival pigment print, unframed
Limited edition of 10
Inspired by the story of Icarus in Greek mythology, contemporary fine art photographer gives us his version of the story that is so often depicted in fine art with a series titled Icarus and Other Mere Mortals.
In this image, a male nude draped only with a loin cloth hovers in front of an Islamic architecture window. Sunlight pours in through the window as the figure glances over his shoulder to look beyond.
About the artist:
For Chicago artist Newbold Bohemia, an image is not captured in an instant, it is cultivated over time. While other artists exploit the documentary nature of photography, Newbold subverts reality by creating falsified and forged documents. His images are openly staged and/or manipulated after being captured. He builds sets and costumes to create narrative tableaux, stages mundane objects to create transformative still-life compositions, manipulates photos both digitally and physically, and combines found images in ways that either highlight or subvert the intended messages of the original photos.
“Photos are just a material like paint, wood, or clay,” says Newbold. “I plan, create, and capture images in my studio or in the field. I color them, paint them, cut them, and combine them — either physically or digitally — to create something new. I try to create not only an image, but an entire world within my image,” explains Newbold, “a world that is fictional but hopefully truthful. As Emerson said, ‘Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.’ ”

Newbold Bohemia
Newbold Bohemia was born in Evansville, Indiana and mainly creates photos, although his work shares as much in common with painting as it does with photography. Rather than using the camera to record the world around him, Bohemia prefers to work against the journalistic nature of photography. He creates his own world from scratch. In his studio he arranges still-lifes, builds sets, hires actors and lights the scene. After capturing the image, he often further enhances the work through digital or mechanical manipulation before printing the final work. Although not formally trained as an artist, his work is heavily influenced by his education and work in psychology, marketing and graphic design. Visual organization and storytelling are equally important to him, although one may take precedence over another is a particular body of work. His work often focuses on the everyday and mundane, as well as historical and societal references. Tension, conflict and humor are often introduced to create new ways of seeing the world we think we know. Newbold Bohemia currently lives and works in Chicago. His award-winning work has been exhibited throughout the United States. He is currently represented by the seller based in Hudson, NY.
