Zoe Bent, Eros and Psyche, 2007

9” x 12”, Pencil

This drawing is done from a photograph of the statue ‘Eros and Psyche’ in the Louvre Museum in Paris. I drew it because I am very interested in Greek mythology and love the story of Eros and Psyche.

Zoe Bent, David, 2007

9” x 12”, Pencil

This sketch is of the David, from the Academia

Museum in Florence. I drew it with my drawing class which was touring

Europe during the summer. Unfortunately, we

only had an hour in the Academia and I didn’t have the opportunity to

finish the sketch.

Zoe Bent, Untitled, 2007

20” x 26”, Charcoal

This still-life, which I did with my art

class at the Parsons New School, is a

demonstration of my work with light

and shadows.

Zoe Bent, Depressed Clown, 2008

12” x 16”, Oils on Canvas

This painting is very closely based on the painting ‘The Waiting Clown’ by Jack Faragasso. Although not a demonstration of originality, this piece exhibits technical skill and ability.

Zoe Bent, Bra Salesman, London, 2007

5.25” x 7”, Digital Photograph

Although the subject is in the background of the photo, the foreground bras frame and draw attention to his face. This setting leaves

the viewer wondering about the apparent dichotomy between

the subject’s profession and

gender.

Zoe Bent, Splash, 20085.25” x 7”, Digital Photograph

This photo was taken immediately after

throwing a rock into a pond with the intention of

capturing the splash. I like how this image

freezes a moment in time that could not be seen

without a camera.

Zoe Bent, The Passenger, 20085.25” x 7”, Digital Photograph

This photo was taken on a plane, with the sun outside the window

silhouetting the face of my companion in the window seat.

Zoe Bent, Untitled, 20085.25” x 7”, Digital Photograph

I took this picture of my sister on a cloudy day, but with the little sunlight silhouetting

her from behind. I had her dance and jump around while I photographed, in order to capture a motion shot like this

one. I like how every part of her is moving, her limbs, her hair, and the ties

on her bathing suit. This photo was one of five selected from

over 300 (all the photos were taken by photography students at my school) and

displayed at an art show (The Independent Visions at Alcon Gallery, 206

Fifth Ave, New York, NY, May 9-10, 2008).
