Troy Emery's colourful critters captured by Sean Fennessy

Date
4 November 2014

It’s probably just the beautiful absurdity of the work on display but Sean Fennessy’s photographs of Melbourne artist Troy Emery’s studio made us all laugh out loud when we saw them in the office. Troy’s renowned for his creation of sculptural animal forms decorated with gaudy materials. His multicoloured pooches and giant glittery bears evoke joy wherever they’re seen. Sean Fennessy is known for his clean, graphic style of photography with a portfolio that covers everything from still-life to travel, lifestyle to architecture. For some reason the marriage of these two creative talents works beautifully; the maximal artist and minimalist photographer bouncing off each other to create a fantastic editorial series.
