About the Item
Unique chromoskedasic monoprint mounted on aluminum
40 x 25 inches
Signed on reverse
This contemporary, abstract style chromoskedasic monoprint was created by experimental photographer Birgit Blyth. Without the use of a camera, the artist produced this chromoskedasic image by applying the photographic chemicals to black and white photo pager and exposing it to light. The shadowy brown and black tones, which provide a stark contrast to the simple white background, are determined by the different chemicals used and the amount of time they are exposed to light. Here, the artist’s careful hand creates gestural, delicate strokes that span the length of the work.
The photograph is mounted on aluminum and equipped with a sturdy bar across the back for instant and professional-quality hanging.
About the artist and work: Birgit Blyth is one of our most innovative and prolific photographers who works in a darkroom yet uses no camera! Blyth has been experimenting with a technique known as Chromoskedasic painting since the early ‘90s and variations on this concept have been shown at the gallery for the last 20 years. The unusual process involves the use of silver particles in black and white photographic paper to scatter light at different wavelengths when exposed. A chemist of sorts, Blyth demonstrates a thorough knowledge of how the various photographic chemicals will react when applied to paper and exposed. Each work is unique with palettes that resonate brilliant tonalities of brown, green, black, and purple. Using this technique, Blyth creates abstract crosshatching grids and most recently has developed a more gestural series of 20 x 16 inch chromoskedasic paintings that explores the ethereal qualities made possible by the unconventional material. Birgit Blyth succeeds at keeping her work fresh and cutting-edge using analog methods that are being quickly replaced elsewhere with digital technology.

- Chalk Streams 6, Ellie Davies - Nature Photography, Colour PhotographyBy Ellie DaviesLocated in Brighton, GBAll prints are produced to order and lead times are expected between 15-20 days. Chalk Streams 6 is a stunning C-Type Print on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper in Maxima Matte. This size print is available in an Edition of 7 + 2 Artist Proofs. In her new series, Chalk Streams, Ellie Davies focusses on the stunning natural ecosystems that are the crystal-clear chalk streams in Dorset and Hampshire, near where she lives, in the West of England. One theme that threads throughout her entire body of work is an appreciation and concern for the natural environment around us. In Chalk Streams, Davies looks at the delicate ecosystems that are under threat. Chalk streams are a unique ecosystem that house a high biodiversity of plants and creatures. Their cool, fresh waters come from rain that permeates the chalk, filtering it and allowing it to flow through the flinty bedrock and emerge further down slopes as purely clear mineral water. In this series, Davies takes the reflection of light on the surface of the sea and overlays it onto the chalk streams, creating a sparkling liquid path...Category
