Paul Blanca (1958-2021), born as Paul Vlaswinkel, is a Dutch photographer who became known in the 1980s for his controversial and violent photos. In New York he was accompanied by Robert Mapplethorpe, who called the still young photographer his only real competitor.
Blanca does not shy away from confrontation, he mutilates himself with razors and arrows and portrays heroin prostitutes in their moment of surrender. In Par La Pluie Des Femmes , he asks women about their most traumatic memories while capturing them naked and mostly crying.
In Deformation he deforms human bodies. Here he makes the viewer think about the relative limits of the human physique by distorting his models with a wire.
Provenance: from a private collection. Obtained directly from Paul Blanca.
Will be shipped well-packaged and insured in a cardboard envelope. Can also be picked up in Haarlem.
A documentary about the life of Paul Blanca is currently being worked on. This will be published at the end of 2021. For background information on the different series, see www.paulblanca.nl.
