Recent Work by Mark de Paola

This book is Mark de Paola, highlighted by his Recent Work series. Created over several years, the series includes portrait, nude, landscape, and inanimate object, and narrates de Paola’s memories, feelings and impressions of people, places and objects he has known. Carefully sequenced by de Paola himself, the series invites viewers to leave behind the everyday and journey with him... Provoking us to project meanings into it’s viscerally striking, blurred and saturated forms. De Paola’s desire to wield the lens as an extension of his own body is clear in the subtle way he escorts us through his cinematic world. Recent Work is endlessly fascinating and promises to reward those who visit and revisit it again and again.
