Museum Anatomy By Chadwick & Spector

Museum Anatomy is a collection of documentary photographs of works from museums around the world that have been recreated onto the human body. The artwork goes through a significant process until reaching the final outcome, a photograph of Chadwick, sometimes unrecognizable as a human form, with an elaborate, detailed painting covering a portion of his body. The recreated paintings of these historic portraits recapture the subjects in their own moment in history. The resulting photographs reveal a unification of art combining antiquity, history and technology in a contemporary context.
New York City artists, Chadwick Gray and Laura Spector, currently reside in Chiang Mai, Thailand. They are both recipients of the prestigious New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship Award (2001), and they have been included as finalists for the Sovereign Asian Art Award in both 2006 and 2008 where their work auctioned at Sotheby's Hong Kong. Their work has been published in The Harvard Review, Ripley's Believe It Or Not! and in the book, The Real Real Thing: The Model in the Mirror of Art, by Wendy Steiner. Their work can be seen in exhibitions and collections around the world.
