Reza Aramesh, 12 Midnight
If you've been out on the town recently, you may have noticed the emotive, Renaissance-style busts haunting some of our favorite nightclubs. In concurrence with the Frieze Art Fair,
12 Midnight is a multi-venue project by London-based artist Reza Aramesh. The sculptures combine 17th century techniques of expressive detail in the tradition of Caravaggio with the more modern subject matter of violent, battle scene photojournalism. The result is a moving, tragic, and beautiful body of work that communicates the human condition.
