Master of Surrealism —— Appreciation of Jerry Youseman's Works

Uthman's works are not synthesized by computer technology, but by traditional darkroom production technology. Images from different negatives are superimposed on one picture through multiple magnifying glasses, which produces an artistic image of "pure hand montage". Usaman's photographic works are mainly composed of rocks, trees, rivers, ships, portraits, still life and other elements, creating a fantastic magical world. They are the enjoyment of visual beauty, but they can't be explained by philosophical thinking and can't exist in reality. They are abstract expressions of nature.

In this sense, Uthman's photography belongs to "artificial photography", but they are frank. The complex topics he studied are not easy to express by direct photography. His photography explores the fields of imagination and memory, which only appear when people close their eyes. His photos reflect profound psychology. Although they depict unusual scenes, they reflect hopes, fears and tensions in daily life. When watching in a group, they are emotional and exciting, but at the same time they are smart and thoughtful. They may be disturbing, but they will never lose hope. Jerry Youseman always lets his works be shrouded in humor and emotion.

Nowadays, it has become a fashion to synthesize images in real time by computer. Uthman still uses the traditional darkroom technique without changing his original intention, and we can find the origin of the dream world here. These surreal mysterious works have broken our usual thinking logic and touched our hearts. It was Uthman who led us into the maze of visual thinking and cleverly hid the map. As the master himself said, "my photography works are novel and creative, which expands the possibility of original themes ... finally, my hope is to surprise myself."
