Between portraits of women and assumed photographic set up, the work of Jeffrey Silverthorne brings us permanently in an atmosphere of grotesque limits.
Silverthorne shows her aging body in unusual situations, sometimes dubious, with young women sometimes with hair in curlers. The weirdness, if not bizarre, of these set up and portraits is reinforced by the artist’s own symbolic approach.
Sweet situations meet the sensitivity that comes from portraits. We are constantly transported between a troubled world by its strangeness and the pleasantness, and by the fragility of these women that could break into pieces at any moment.
