Juan Madrid – Under the Shadows of Clouds




Juan Madrid was born in Catskill, New York and received his BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He mainly does work in upstate New York and is apart of the Free Lunch Cartel.
I enjoy Madrid’s work because of how unique his pictures are. It makes you question how he finds his material creating the sense of quality and uncommonness that is hard to capture in photography.
The top left picture I enjoy because of how unique it is. Whether or not Madrid made this picture or found the shoe print on the box creates the illusion and mystery that seems to dominate this collection. The top right picture I enjoy because of the color contrast between the dark brown rings and the bright pink flowers. The bottom picture is my favorite because of the contrast between the harsh flames on the cars and the almost soft texture of the plants.
