Paul Blanca (1958), born Paul Vlaswinkel, is a Dutch photographer who became known in the 1980s for his controversial and violent photographs. In New York he was mentored by Robert Mapplethorpe who called the still young photographer his only real competitor. He did not shy away from confrontation by mutilating himself with razors and arrows or by portraying heroin prostitutes in their moment of surrender. In Par La Pluie Des Femmes, he asks women about their most traumatic memories while capturing them naked and usually crying. In Deformation, he distorts human bodies. Here he makes the viewer consider the relative limits of human physicality by deforming his models with a wire. Despite the aversive subjects, Blanca manages to capture the moment in an aesthetic way. Blanca's photographs make the viewer think about what beauty is and therefore remain intriguing. Very different are the more recent works such as Court Portraits that were on display in Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle or the photo series Rondje Nederland for which he went into nature.
