Francisco UCEDA
He is a Brooklyn-based fine art photographer, whose work explores important slightly offsetting narratives. Born in Andalusia, and educated in United States, Uceda earned his B.A. in anthropology and photography from Bard College and his M. Ed. from University of la Rioja. As a fine art photographer, his work in this genre has dealt with themes of inter-textuality, creating imagery that references other artistic works. His photographs have been exhibited in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany and United States. The i-Candy portraits that he presents consist of combinations of candy, pastries, cake and baking products with the same head(s) as the only constant factor. Each ingredient is consciously chosen so as to affect a pre-determined transformation. By playing with the possibilities of the each ingredient he construct portraits that point towards different basic human feelings, refer to characters in other works of art and/or simply confront the viewer.
