I came across this intriguing series of photographs by Charlie Engman.

” My work has consistently been based on photographs of my friends and family. This show, Perfect Strangers, is exactly what the title implies—portraits of total strangers. The portraits show a broad range of ages and races, so there is no single contingent in this body of work. It is exciting to see the diversity of people who pass though a gallery in a month’s time. These portraits are clearly reflective of contemporary society, but also recall Renaissance paintings. The paintings have a strong primary color scheme, are dense with draped fabric, and the subjects have many layers of clothes and accessories due to the timing of the exhibition. There is also a self-consciousness to the subjects posing in front of the camera in the photo booth; the same self-consciousness I imagine a subject would have had posing for a Renaissance painter when his or her likeness was being captured. At first glance this seems far-fetched because the portraits are clearly contemporary portraits in every way, but if I sit with them for a little longer, I begin to think about the paintings by Titian and Vermeer.” Leah Tinari (via Mixed Greens)

Parking Lot Drawing requires its participants to interact with an often-overlooked part of their everyday environment. Individuals align their body with a parking lot line and absorb the trials and tribulations of a line that is bound to a singular place. After having some time to bond, individuals use their new connection with the line in order to honor the desires of the line for a fleeting, but sustaining, moment.
