Candid (construct)

‘Candid (construct)’ delves into the visually constructed images in beauty and fashion editorials replicating candid like poses and expressions. Here I want to create the same effect – visually impact and connect with the viewer – but also use strips of negative space to remind the viewer of its materiality and fragility. Extracted from its previous context of accompanying images and text, it has now been converted into an artistic medium and perhaps now visually and conceptually resides within the realm of art.

Torinne Zach is a Brisbane based artist specialising in graphite drawing and fine art photography. In 2015, Torinne completed a Bachelor of Fine Art at the Queensland College of Art and currently works as a practicing artist and photographer. Across both disciplines, the interconnection between fashion and art, and its inspiration and tension that it draws from one another is a prominent concept Torinne investigates in her work.
Torinne's delicate touch to graphite drawing combined with her fragmented composition and negative space, creates an interesting image that investigates the tension between representation and materiality. Her photography practice is also highly influenced by alluring aesthetics through visual richness and often attempts to find a middle ground between a fashion and fine art image. The relationship between representation, subject, artist and viewer remain an integral part of the concept.
