Lawrence Getubig grew up in the 70's and 80's. Like most children
then, he was enamored with the action cartoons and show of his age. He dreamed
of being a super hero He wanted to fight along side Batman and He-Man. In 2001
Getubig received a BS in a molecular biology. Deciding research wasn't for him,
Getubig gained his MFA in 2008.
In his series
"I Want to be a Super Hero" Lawrence
Getubig places himself in heroic scenes with his child hood idols What drew me
to his work was the way he created it. Getubig creates intricate cut-out scenes.
In each scene he includes a cut-out of himself o place in the scene. With creative
lighting and colorful back drops, he builds a 3D comic strip, then photographs
the scene.
I have always
loved the idea of creating entire environments for photographs. I have worked
like this before, but Getubig brings the style to a whole new level. I am envious of the product of his work. His images compel you to look twice. At first, the images look like a a drawing. Once you look again, you notice the D.O.F. which reveals the 3 dimensional nature of the images. The amount of detail that Getubig produces ins the second part of the series is truly inspiring.
