Photographic still lifes in the manner of Giuseppe Arcimboldo by Klaus Enrique
Born in 1975, Klaus Enrique grew up in Mexico City. He studied genetics at the University of Nottingham, and received an MBA from Columbia Business School. Most of his working career was spent as a freelance IT consultant before Enrique turned to sculpture and photography, which he studied at Parsons and at the School of Visual Arts.
Enrique began to receive worldwide attention in 2007 when his portrait of “Mother & Daughter” was considered for the Photographic Portrait Prize at the UK’s National Portrait Gallery. Subsequently, Enrique has been short-listed for other works by the Newspace Center for Photography, National Geographic Traveler, the Photography Masters Cup, and the Art of Photography Show among others.
In 2011, Enrique was the winner of the prestigious Curator Award/Emerging Artist of the Year for Still Photography, which is presented by Photo District News. In 2013, Enrique’s “Vertumnus” was included in “The History of Still Life in Ten Masterpieces”, published by the Alimentarium Museum in Switzerland.
Enrique’s work is collected by a growing number of public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Haggerty Museum of Art, and the Leslie/Lohman Museum. He currently lives in New York City.
