FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS
A narrative very familiar to Floridian natives, where approximately 1.3 million Alligators coexist in America’s sunshine state. Rich greens and warm afternoon brushes of light grace the lush, manicured gardens. The iridescent pool- symmetrical and still, reflects the tropical surroundings and cumulus clouds developing in the distance. In the foreground, the American Alligator, a common site across all of Florida’s 67 counties. The viewer’s eye begins at the Alligator’s tail and travels up over the reptile’s head directly towards The Wrangler. He stands boldly ready for battle, lasso in hand and eye to eye with the apex predator. His defined masculinity, tattoos, clear skin and piercing eyes- challenge our perceived stereotypes of the character’s role. The scene alternates between an everyday narrative and a cinematic experience, a new endeavor for West, who is best known for his bright and colorful staged photography. What is familiar though, the perfectly choreographed character, provocative narrative and strong use of symmetry and color- key indicators of the artist’s work.


“Pools, palms and architecture are familiar motifs within my photographs. The Palms series is a deeper dive into the many aspects of Florida’s culture and daily life” 

Dean West 



______

Au cœur de la végétation luxuriante et des jardins manucurés de la Floride, les alligators sont un motif familier des 67 comtés de cet état du sud et de ses habitants qui coexistent avec environ 1,3 million d'entre eux. Les piscines iridescentes, symétriques et silencieuses, reflètent les arbres tropicaux et les cumulus qui s'étirent au loin. Au premier plan, la queue d'un alligator capte l'attention avant que l’œil ne remonte jusqu'au cow-boy. Ce dernier se tient droit, impassible, lasso en main, prêt au combat avec ce prédateur ultime. Sa masculinité est définie par ses attributs vestimentaires, son regard perçant, sa peau claire et ses tatouages; elle fait appel aux stéréotypes attendus par son rôle. Cette image alterne entre scène quotidienne et expérience cinématographique, soit une nouveauté dans le portfolio de West, habitué jusqu'ici aux mises en scènes statiques dans des tons lumineux. La composition symétrique, la mise en scène travaillée et la narration provocante appartiennent néanmoins sans hésitation au style de West.
