I recently discovered Abelardo Morell, a phenomenal photographer, and currently a professor at Boston’s own Mass Art. While all of his photos are beautiful I was particularly amazed by his Camera Obscura work. The way he blends landscapes into local settings, cities into hotel rooms and oceans into bedrooms is really unbelievable. Some of his other more modern work he uses this same approach to create photographs, which composite sculpture and painting.

Morell was born in Cuba, in 1948. While I couldn’t find an artist statement on his page, which you can see here, I found his approach to photography very fresh. See more photos after the break, and please let me know what you think of his work!

Some of his more modern work also tackles this really interesting notion of our obsession with money and material in western society.
