Ryan McGinley- I know where the summer goes
"Photography is about freezing a moment in time; McGinley's is about freezing a stage in a lifetime. Young and beautiful is as fleeting as a camera snap--and thus all the more worth preserving."
Nobody does it better. Not even half as good.
When first glimpsing on Ryan McGinely's work one might easily come to think of photographer/director Larry Clark (Bully, Kids, Ken Park) who may well be a distant (word stress) cousin of McGinley's, with obvious similarities extending to youth and nudity. However, while there is a deliberately provocative and exploitive nature to Clark's work on the dismal theme of; Society-gone-fucking-bad-and-when-adults-are-away-kids-will-play, McGinley rather uses nudity as an expression of the freedom tied with being young. There's a certain joie de vivre and sense of wanting to be right in there in every single frame of his, that is so remarkably captivating with Ryan McGinley, not to mention luscious.
