About the Item

ATO>MIC #9, 2020 Unique Gelatin Silver Print/ Luminogram and Photogram technique, Printed on tea infused fibre based paper, Framed 23 x 18 cm print size 38 x 35.5 cm framed Unique Series: ATO>MIC Signed and dated in pencil on print's verso © Michael G Jackson The “>” (greater-than sign) in the ato>mic title of the series is a link and the difference between larger and smaller scales of the artistic representation of miniature still life painting and enormity of an atomic explosion. These two influencing ideas have inspired Jackson’s creative process. Instead of using carving stone to depict three-dimensional quality of sculptural works for example, he uses numerous camera-less techniques to combine scales and the real with the unreal. The canvas for the still life painting is replaced here by photosensitive paper as he draws and paints using pure light in his darkroom studio. The image may be reminiscent of the first milliseconds of atomic bomb explosions captured by Harold Edgerton's Rapatronic camera in the early 1950s but also visualise the thought of Maholy-Nagy's bold visions in the Bauhaus's movement toward the idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk, or "total work of art." "The goal isn't to replicate the real world - it is to show where the real world and the process meet - sometimes pushing towards the real world, sometimes pushing towards the process - but never completely at either extreme. "- Michael G Jackson About the Artist: Michael G Jackson (b.1966) is an experimental photographer based in North Dorset, England. He studied art at West Dean College in Sussex, then apprenticed under landscape painter Christopher W Baker and later discovered his passion for photography. He moved away from working with traditional camera techniques in 2015 and is currently progressing the Luminogram process into new directions in which he has become regarded as a leading practitioner. His work has been exhibited internationally and is part of various private and museum art and photography collections including The National Art Gallery in Washington, USA. Shipping: This print would be crated for print and framing safety (that includes glass protection). More options available including a free pick up from the gallery and complementary delivery in London (UK).
