Close up of Employees of the HEMA, Amsterdam, from the series “Company”

In front of a black background, seven light-skinned, plainly dressed women and men sit around a rectangular table. Food, candles and tulips sit on the white table cloth. The women and men gesture, smoke, drink, and eat, but do not engage with each other or the viewer.

The Artist, Sharon Core

Sharon Core meticulously constructs and reimagines the subjects of historical paintings or artistic genres and photographs the results.
A light-skinned adult woman seen from the shoulders up. Her dark hair reaches to her shoulders, clad in denim. She has green eyes and a mole above the left side of her mouth. Her green eyes look straight into the camera and match the green behind her.
