Cain & Abel , 2003

Chromogenic Print

The full range of Nes’s artistic skill is evidenced in the varying nature of the photographic compositions in this series. In a number of Nes’s works, his technique is not only commensurate with old master painters’ adaptations of classical and religious stories, but is reminiscent of the artistic techniques of those including Caravaggio and Rubens in his theatrical use of light and shadow; this is perhaps best exemplified in Nes’s (Untitled) Cain and Abel, where a deep sense of rage emanates from the exaggerated musculature defining Cain’s body as he prepares to strike the prostrate Abel.
