The Mechanical Age
CRISTIAN TOWNSEND
Cristian Townsend is a West Australian, Fine Art Photographer, living and working in Osaka, Japan.
Specialising in dreamlike photomontages that endeavour to question and push boundaries. Inspired by Surrealism's provocation and Buddhist philosophy. His work playfully juxtaposes ideas, in order to, like a Zen Koen, see beyond our cultural conventions. To seek truth.
His Photomontages use motifs from Classical to Modernist Art, From war-time Propaganda to Modern Advertising, the Cinema, the Mass Media and Science Fiction. "Everything should be questioned and everything should be explored. Art is the exploration of what is possible."

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
