● "Beauty is measured in degrees of deceit. The greater the beauty the greater the deceit." - Dominic Rouse (The Artist's Journal)
● Dominic Rouse would be the first to admit that his use of the camera and the darkroom are unusual. Photography as a wide and varied community of folks is a very big tent indeed and his corner of photography has few fellow travelers. Contemporarily Jerry Uelsmann comes to mind. But when I think of his work I think more of the painters Bruegel, Hieronymus Bosch and René Magritte. Rouse does not photograph the world. He makes photographs of his mind. Looking at his images is a profoundly different experience than looking at an Ansel Adams photograph. With Adams one prepares for his photographs by reading John Muir. With Rouse one prepares by reading Lewis Carroll, or even Freud.
● His images are challenging because the questions he asks in his images are challenging themselves. In my interview with him he quotes Picasso who said that computers are useless because they only give you answers. Rouse's photographs pose far more questions than they answer and I suspect that is precisely his intention. - Brooks Jensen (LensWork Publishing)
● Dominic Rouse is an English fine art photographer who began his career as a photojournalist in the mid-1970s. His art is defined by his meticulous attention to detail and a painstaking dedication to the traditional craft of large-format photography. From this unique blend of fine art photography and digital composition emerges a cohesive body of visionary work.
