About the Item

Michael Massaia is a native NJ artist who does not stray far from home for his inspirations. He is driven by the belief of the primacy of an original idea as the critical and pivotal element of creation in contemporary art. This is the stimulating factor and purpose behind in the relentless pursuit of perfection in his photographic process in which he is the sole creator. Michael is completely self taught in the conception, creation and execution of each step of the completed work. Michael works with 4×5 ,5x7,8×10, 11x14 view cameras and in this case a medium format Leica S2, on the sturdiest tripods to record all the precise details the meticulous prints demonstrate. The photographs are true "one shot" scenes whose images are never composited from multiple exposures or “staged” for the camera. Seeing these luminous, hand wrought silver gelatin and platinum/palladium prints rendered with excruciating detail and otherworldly resolution and full tonal range is nothing short of mesmerizing. Highlighted portions almost appear to be magically lit from within the print. Whether in platinum prints believed to be the largest ever made, or in silver gelatin prints with complex grays found previously only in a platinum print, both eye and mind are fully engaged. His largest prints are not viewed; it seems that one can actually “enter” the photograph. Like much of the best art, they compel your immediate attention and continue to delight and unfold with repeated viewing. Gallery 270 represents distinguished photographers of the 20th Century and the emergent photographers of the 21st Century from around the world. We place particular emphasis on modern emerging photographers employing traditional processes such as platinum/palladium, cyanotype, and gum bichromate, where the hand of the artist is much more intimately engaged.
