Gordon Magnin\u2019s artwork offers a new perspective of a very familiar subject matter in an extremely refreshing way; the artist uses predominantly, but not exclusively, found female fashion images. Born in Reno, Nevada, Magnin now lives and works in Southern California. He has exhibited in Southern California, Reno, and New York City. In 2009, he attended a Canada Council for the Arts-sponsored artist residency at L\u2019\u00c9cart, Lieu d\u2019Art Actuel in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada.\u00a0\u00a0You can find out more at his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Magnin’s portfolio appears in\u00a0Issue Three<\/a>\u00a0where Ariane Fairlie writes,<\/p>\n

\n

[The use of found female fashion images] is especially daring because our media culture is so saturated with these images to begin with, that it would seem difficult come up with a new understanding of it, but Magnin pulls it off. He imposes geometric systems…on the high fashion faces, either by cutting them out of the images and replacing them on a new angle, or simply by removing the shapes completely.<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
