The work of Texas based artist Reverend Bobby Anger is somehow dark and cinematic. Though there are often nudes, Bobby reads references to a timeless fashion that appears in many images as well. He shoots people in the studio, outdoors and in environments, trying to create a common feel throughout them, a common narrative that ties them together. The images are often but a fraction of a larger narrative, a dark decisive moment in an ongoing story. Frequently paired with quotes from literature (or occasionally, the Bible), the story is generally about loss. There is often a moral component. When they work, the balance of the story comes in some way from the viewer’s own experience. It is this common truth in the varied experiences of many that he is trying to capture. Bobby is inspired by a balance of reading (particularly Emerson, Thoreau and Jeffers), writing and solitude. Please follow his Tumblr for more discoveries.
