With Reeds Beautiful meditative photographs of the human body in dreamlike natural settings.
Nudes emerge from irridescent pools of water creating a transcendental eroticism.
The line between landscape and figure is surrealistically blurred so that one imitates the other. There is something primal and satisfying about the nude and water. In combination, they establish an irresistible rapport between the viewer and the art - an effect that is presented clearly in Karin Rosenthal's work. She uses the attractive elements of water, abstraction, and the nude body to provide sensual pleasure while de-emphasizing the sexual. Sexual pleasure, dependent on immediate and physical gratification, can be fleeting and mundane, while sensual pleasure lives its own life of constant anticipation and renewal.
