Peeling Off (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Peeling Off is a series of photographs taken off from the wall of an antique store in Manhattan. I wanted to capture the details in the texture through color, light, shadow, and poetry. Texture is captured in details in the shadow and light. The paint of the wall was peeling off, giving the storefront an antique look, and depicting the passing of time.
AUTHOR
Using the digital camera, my passion is to unravel the beauty in the world through light and shadows, color and texture. I love exploring the passing of time through capturing the smallest details.
An engineer by training, I started to look for the mystery of details with a film camera in 1993. It was only in 2010 that I decided to start a professional photographic journey. I’m a self-trained photographer, who took workshops and classes at the School of Visual Arts and at the International Center of Photography.
Brian Appel critiqued some of my past nature abstracts. He wrote, “the abstracts reminded me of Gerhard Richter’s abstract oil paintings. They immediately capture the drama of luxuriant color frozen in time. The photographs recall the work of the Abstract Expressionists from the 1950s.”
“Walk on the Moon” that I’m going to showcase here, is a representation of the small details in the wall. I used light and shadows to emphasize the roughness of texture. “Peeling Off” is exploring the passing of time on a antique storefront wall through complementing colors, light and shadows. The winter nature work is based on a poem I wrote “Found Myself at Franny Reese."
