Cloned Conceptual Photography

Alain Cornu's Still Life Photography Captures Random Objects

— January 29, 2016 — Art & Design
Alain Cornu's conceptual still life photography captures a number of random objects including freshly baked desserts and women's shoes. In addition to his stark images of plastic cups and spoons that are lined up in repetitive sequences, the French photographer also experiments with stiletto heels and even plastic models of the human brain.

The result is a whimsical series of mesmerizing portraits. Each Alain Cornu masterpiece is precisely arranged and is the epitome of symmetry. Titled "The Rehearsal," the photographer's series is a social commentary on society's habit of conforming to traditional lifestyles, social standards and even stereotypes.

Despite seeming random at first, these photographs are intricately planned and comment on a deeper topic that many viewers can relate to.


Trend Themes
1. Conceptual Still Life Photography - Opportunity for photographers to create unique and thought-provoking images by arranging random objects in a precise and visually appealing way.
2. Whimsical Surrealism - Opportunity for artists to explore surrealism and whimsy in their works through the use of unexpected objects and arrangements.
3. Social Commentary Art - Opportunity for artists to use their work as a means of expressing social commentary and criticism, bringing attention to important issues in a creative way.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers can borrow from the concept of conceptual photography and apply it to other mediums to create visually stunning works.
2. Advertising and Marketing - Advertisers and marketers can use visually appealing and thought-provoking images to capture the attention of consumers and promote products or services in a unique and innovative way.
3. Media and Publishing - Media and publishing companies can use the trend of social commentary art to create engaging and thought-provoking content that resonates with an audience and encourages discussion of important issues.
