Hairy

Hairy

â€œRobert Greene is not like other artistsâ€”or rather otherÂ artists are not like Robert Greene. Greene is like a diamondÂ in the roughâ€”one of those unexpected gifts that come alongÂ every so often.â€
â€”Jerry Saltz

â€œWith an abundance of wet, hairy nudity and tropical hues,Â Greene evokes summer at its sexiest and most seductive.â€
â€”Vince Aletti

Painterly rhythms have seeped their way into RobertÂ Greeneâ€™s world of photography in Hairy, a collection ofÂ Greeneâ€™s images taken over many years, in many places,Â of many dogs, and many hairy men. An undercurrent ofÂ Ã¼ber-masculinity and its sexiness is revealed, yet notÂ in the familiar form of muscular, hard-jawed, clean-cutÂ youth. Instead, Greene celebrates a more restrained andÂ naturalistic virility.

Greeneâ€™s photographic eye is full of adoration for hisÂ subjects and their environments. There is a very intimate,Â personal feeling here; one not posed, but observed andÂ captured. Greene shifts from long-range portraiture, to close-upÂ shots where specific textures, shapes, and tones becomeÂ the subject of the image. This abstraction weaves a visualÂ spell, such that even those without a predilection for hirsuteÂ men will be enthralled. The photographs provide the spaceÂ for longing, imagination, and adventure. Hairy is an unusuallyÂ quintessential bookâ€”portraying an incredibly focused andÂ fleshed-out vision of a very beautiful, hairy world where man,Â dog, and nature swirl together.

Hairy will be released in conjunction with an exhibition atÂ Robert Miller Gallery in New York City.
