Dominic Rouse - 'In a monastery garden'

● "In the history of photography, interest in the terrible inequality existing among human beings was passed from Brassai to Weegee before Diane Arbus confronted it.  Dominic Rouse embraces it, not as a social but as an ontological experience in his exhibition 'Haunted by a Painter's Ghost' which opened at Art Chowk in Karachi recently.  This is not mere spectacle or the staging of a weird, repressed universe but rather a sacred, essentially moralistic and messianic vision. These unusual beings illuminate and reveal humanity's potential destiny.  As in all disputes between traditionalists and iconoclasts, Rouse's photographs are bound to incite passionate debate over the legality of images that confront the relationship between perversion and morality, matter and spirit, the secular and the divine."  (Aasim Akhtar - The Friday Times, Vol. XXIII No. 42)
● Dominic Rouse is an English fine art photographer who began his career in the mid 1970's as a photojournalist.  His art is a seamless blend of conceptualism, surrealism and digital expressionism which explores the complexities of the human psyche with a meticulous attention to detail and a painstaking dedication to the traditional craft of large-format photography.
