Description:

"Dominic Rouse's art goes further than a prosaic depiction of our world. It undermines our reason and logic and forces us to challenge what we have claimed as 'beauty'. And beyond the subtle textures of his exquisite prints lies that art; dark in tone and rich in the symbols of the unexpected - ornate silver tableaux of undeclared meaning." (David Genovesi - ArtRom Gallery, Rome)

"The dancer is a montage of four different models one of which was indeed a ballerina. The 'distressed' nature of her tights was created in the computer using the trunks of plane trees photographed in Argentina. The face belongs/ed to the eleven year-old daughter of a gallery owner who represented my work in the UK many moons ago.
The vulture was also photographed in the UK. The rather sombre background was photographed in a school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia which for four years in the seventies housed the principal interrogation facility (Office S-21) of the Khmer Rouge and was thus the home of countless acts of savagery. It seemed a suitably unhappy setting in which to make a comment on the tragedy of love.
You may notice an architectural impossibility at the wall above the stars which is one of the 'homages' to M. C. Escher's genius which I like to include where appropriate/possible in my photographs."
