Born in 1959, Dominic Rouse is an English photographer. He started his career as a photojournalist in 1976 at the age of 16. He opened his first commercial studio in 1986 and ten years later bought a computer and started working on more personal art projects. His singular vision and his mastery of techniques distinguish him from many other photographers who use the computer in their practice.
Dominic Rouse is a visionary in the artistic sense of the term and his work has probably more in common with painting than with photography. His work may seem anchored in the past, but it is the product of a combination of the lastest digital techonologies and the timeless qualities of big format photography resulting in dark silver paintings of undeclared meaning.
"Life can be assimilated in a film shown only once to a captive audience of one - a dark cell in which the level of illumination is determined by the solitary occupant. Art is not made by men and women that are wise but by those in search of wisdom, seeking wisdom and to known thelmselves, it is all we can know and to say something means nothing, there is nothing left to say" according to Dominic Rouse in 2007.
His work is exhibited internationally, in England as well as in the United States, in prestigious galleries and fairs, including at the Fresh Art Fair in London. He was name one of the most interesting photographers of this times. Brooks Jensen, editor in chief of the American magazine "LensWork", declared that Rouse does not take pictures of the world, he makes pictures of his soul.
