I’m happy to go back in NYC next week to teach a sold out (en)Visionography workshop and meet my students. Looking forward to that.
This image is an 11-shot (YES 11 shots!!!) panorama (you don’t want to know how heavy that file was) of Lower Manhattan at sunset and I’ve shot it last year.
it is a continuation of my series of duo-chromatic experiments in blue that I started a couple of years ago and worked on and off on it. Black and white it still The King for me but here I am experimenting with something new. I think the spirit of B&W is more than just about the actual use of the black and the white but it is something deeper. It has to do with light and not only with color or the lack of it. This is what I’m studying in this duo chromatic blue series. I’m trying to re-create the spirit of B&W and the emotion it creates, but not by actually using black and white but other duo chromatic combinations. One of the reason is to show that I is not the technique or color range that creates the emotion in art but it is the deeper meaning and the understanding of how to connect with the viewer on more basic intuitive levels, by offering the mind and heart a different look on things.
I was always fascinated by the dialogue between two colors and how some colors are able to communicate with each other so well. There is an entire theory as for why this is happening and I’m building on that, but this is a discussion for another time since it’s a longer talk. I’ll better do that on my blog. And who knows, my next experimentations might be with psychedelic colors that awaken the senses in an extreme way. I like extremes in art and emotions so that would fit my artistic style. But for the moment I’m floating on a sea of blues…
