Photograph

13” x 16”

Curtis Hendricks began shooting with his father’s 35mm Agfa when he was 15 years old, growing up in a tiny farming town in downstate Illinois. He worked primarily in Kodachrome and black and white prints until the advent of digital photography turned his attention to abstract and surrealism, migrating between works of extreme color and stark noir. Since he began exhibiting his extensive portfolio in a number of Mid-Missouri galleries he has received numerous awards and recognitions. He believes photographic art has to be about more than just making pictures look pretty. It has to push perception beyond the ordinary – see the world beyond the veil and encourage the viewer to think about their realities. It has to be more ‘art’ than ‘photo’.
