Nature is associated with the word 'mother' for good reason - with all the complexity the word bears.
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
Process and Presentation
My pictures are best presented (in physical form) as pigment prints — produced on fine art paper, using the latest high-quality professional art-printing services – tried and tested by me.
Sizing depends on various factors, including the motif and the wishes of the client who will be living with the original. Generally, my prints range from 30 centimeters by 30 centimeters, to 120 cms by 100 cms.
I use a number of different presentation forms; some prints are aluminum-dibond-mounted and sealed beneath acrylic glass (“diasecs”), while others are left “naked” and mounted on a variety of surfaces including MDF, a type of sturdy board, Alu-dibond & aluminium — freeing the images from a need for framing — as well as lending them endurance and stability for their hanging state.
All the pictures exhibited in Pixels Paradise are available as unframed prints. Specific sizes are offered in the shop, but other sizes are possible on request.
The physical pigment prints can be framed and placed beneath glass (with “passé-partouts” accentuating their physicality).
The printing process (preparation, choice of print size, paper used) is integral to the final stage of readying a photograph for a new “home”, whether an exhibition space, a workplace, or a personal residence.
The development of my pictures can include photography, drawing & painting (using a range of digital and analogue tools), with their final printed state (in terms of exhibition and purchase) in the formats described.
