Black & White Photography "Brutalism -Barbican Centre, London No2", 2019
Located in London, GB
"The Barbican Centre of London photomontages by Hsu show no longer a space of unity and yet, we get lost in it. The carved self-portraits of Hsu are split up. Why do they have multiple faces? It looks like Hsu sees her breaks in the brutalist architecture of the Barbican, this huge complex of concrete and bricks, built in the 1980s, with such steep lines. Are the face we offer to ourself and the face we offer to others united and true? What and where is our real true face?" Alexandra Jaffré
 French Art Historian and author
 Belgian-based Art Book Publisher Hsu Yun Chin is a multi-faceted Artist who lives and works in London. Her background is one that has been immersed in various art forms, most predominantly - though not exclusively - in Sculpture and Photography. Mixing this learned process of craftsmanship with a natural affinity, Hsu Yun Chin then seeks to segue initial intrigue and ongoing fascination of the process of creation into various artisan productivity. Beginning with her photographer’s perspective regarding the captured image of the object or still life in question, then exploring into other avenues of expression. The innovation is enhanced and influenced by many factors. These include ‘body sculpture’, religion, culture and philosophy. All of which brings to the fore a distinct narrative and reasoning for a more symbolic and personal body of work. Hsu Yun Chin holds a BA in Fine Art Photography from Emily Carr Art and Design University, Canada and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London. She is also a member of Royal British Society of Sculptors. Her works have been exhibited and published internationally. Measurement: 100X100cm This photograph is sold unframed. All prints are signed and numbered (edition of 10). * Fine art print in size 100X100 cm will be post in postal tube. * If you would like to send in flat package, please message us for special fine art carting...

Black and white abstract psychedelic Art Print of New York City and the Hudson
Located in London, GB
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. - (the Artist: Mike G Jackson) NEW YORK CITY AND THE HUDSON 2020 "After spending time in New York and producing work that showed the city from the viewpoint of being on the inside, I wanted to show the city from the outside looking in. I wanted to try and capture the city and water using bold shapes - building up the scene piece by piece. Making the sky and sea from rectangles to make them a whole with the city structures." - Mike G Jackson Unique 4 x Prints, Selenium toned Silver Gelatine Luminogram Print, Hand printed in the darkroom, Framed Dimensions: 32 x 24 inches (82 x 62 cm approx including frame); can be framed separately or in one frame upon request Frame: Mounted on aluminium Dibond, custom made hardwood frame (framing options available upon request; colour and various material options) finish with antireflective UV protective AR Art Glass Mounting and framing of this work will be done after the purchase so the framing options like framing colour for example can be made according to specifications of the client; matt or gloss, black, white, metallic etc OFFER! Free Shipping worldwide: the work would be crated for protection and shipped by professional art shipping company; front door delivery; complementary delivery and install available in London area About the Artist: Michael 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. Past awards and accolades include being named a Finalist for the Hasselblad Masters Award (2008, 2009, 2010) and winner of the 2013 Chris Beetles Award. His work has been exhibited internationally and is part of various private and public art and photography collections including The National Art Gallery in Washington, USA. Michael Jackson’s Luminograms are a very special piece of photographic art. Not a photograph in itself but a creative medium of its own. Each one is meticulously crafted by Michael in his darkroom. There are many structured stages to go through before the photographic paper can be hand developed and permanently fixed. Once Michael is happy with a finished Luminogram print it’s then toned in Selenium, which not only intensifies the prints tonality, but also increases the prints archival quality. Traditional photographic darkroom printing techniques have an unquestionable pedigree when it comes to the life expectancy of a photograph. Each Luminogram is unique and only one Silver Gelatin Print is produced of each image. The images reveal themselves with a 3D quality; viewed in the flesh the abstracted surreal forms within the paper come alive to the viewer. Michael Jackson’s Luminograms were exhibited for the first time at MMX Gallery in 2016; The Self Representation of Light exhibition and the following year at Photo London 2017 as well as next Photo London editions. The Luminogram work was also paired with theologian Edwin A. Abbott in a book published by 21st Editions, titled after the author’s famous work ‘FLATLAND’ and premiered in November at the Grand Palais in Paris, for Paris Photo 2017. Other recent group exhibitions include Light + Metal, PhotoEye Gallery, (USA) and Unbound 7, Candela Gallery, (USA), ATO>MIC, MMX Gallery, London 2022. “Mike Jackson...

There’s a lot to love about black and white photography.

The unique and timeless quality of a black and white photograph accentuates any room. Some might argue that we’re naturally drawn to color photography because it’s the world we know best. This is a shared belief, particularly in the era of camera-phone photography, editing apps and the frenetic immediacy of sharing photos on social media. But when we look at black and white photography, we experience deep, rich shadows and tonal properties in a way that transfixes us. Composition and textures are crisp and engaging. We’re immediately drawn to the subjects of vintage street photography and continue to feel the emotional impact of decades-old photojournalism. The silhouettes of mountains in black and white landscape photography are particularly pronounced, while portrait photography and the skylines of urban cityscapes come to life in monochrome prints.

When decorating with fine photography, keep in mind that some color photographs may not be suitable for every space. However, you can be more daring with black and white photos. The gray tones are classic, sophisticated and generally introduce elegance to any corner of your home, which renders black and white prints amazingly versatile.

Black and white photography adapts to its surroundings like a chameleon might. A single large-scale black and white photograph above the sofa in your living room is going to work with any furniture style, and as some homeowners and designers today are working to introduce more muted tones and neutral palettes to dining rooms and bedrooms, the integration of black and white photography — a hallmark of minimalist decor — is a particularly natural choice for such a setting.

Another advantage to bringing black and white photography into your home is that you can style walls and add depth and character without worrying about disrupting an existing color scheme. Black and white photographs actually harmonize well with accent colors such as yellow, red and green. Your provocative Memphis Group lighting and bold Pierre Paulin seating will pair nicely with the black and white fine nude photography you’ve curated over the years.

Black and white photography also complements a variety of other art. Black and white photos pair well with drawings and etchings in monochromatic hues. They can also form part of specific color schemes. For example, you can place black and white prints in colored picture frames for a pop of color. And while there are no hard and fast rules, it’s best to keep black and white prints separate from color photographs. Color prints stand out in a room more than black and white prints do. Pairing them may detract attention from your black and white photography. Instead, dedicate separate walls or spaces to each.

Once you’ve selected the photography that best fits your space, you’ll need to decide how to hang the images. If you want to hang multiple photos, it’s essential to know how to arrange wall art. A proper arrangement can significantly enhance a living space.
