Make your Transition, 2019

Léa Bon  

Make your transition, by Lea Bon Hahnemühle photo Paper

This provocative artwork presents a figure clad in a two-toned bodysuit, split into stark black and white, evoking a sense of duality and conflict. The subject, adorned with studded belts and spikes jutting from the arms, exudes an intense and edgy aura. The background is a deep, blood-red, heightening the ominous atmosphere. Suspended marionette dolls hang in various stages of disarray, contributing to a theme of manipulation and control. The central figure's pose, poised and deliberate, draws the viewer into a world of symbolic confrontation, exploring themes of identity and power dynamics. The composition's meticulous attention to detail and its bold interplay of colors and textures create an arresting visual narrative, challenging conventional perceptions and inviting profound interpretation. This artwork commands attention with its blend of surrealism and raw commentary.

Léa Bon is an androgynous fashion and art photographer, with a unique, personal and spiritual body of work. At a young age, Léa Bon found in photography the means by which she could construct her own small worlds using her imagination. Her work breaks with the stereotypes of traditional photography and goes beyond the human eye; is a fusion between art, fashion and humanity, evoking surrealism, expressionism and hyperrealism. Dreams and fantasies from the past and present are portrayed by Léa Bon’s subjects, which she uses like her own personal dolls. She has done multiple exhibitions about her life, among them “First Cycle-Innocent Vision”, composed of 25 works of art that portray her personal journey.
