INVITATION TO THE EXHIBITION „PURE"
REVELATIONS IN SILVER · PL·ATINUM · IRIDIUM · RHODIUM
BY JAN C. SCHLEGEL
His works are a reminiscence of the original genre of photography and at the same time a renaissance of old artistic photographic craftmanship, which is able to combine two features: achieving the highest quality and capturing the beauty for eternity.
»A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.«
This sentence from Irving Penn, one of the most influential photographers in recent history and reinventers of the platinum printing process in the sixties, Jan C. Schlegel often refers to when he speaks about his works. Pushing the boundaries of his medium he asks universal, existential questions about identity, beauty and the uniqueness of every living being in all their details, shapes and structures. Furthermore, he has mastered the art of photography - by studying, analyzing and exploring. As a result of his way of approaching his subjects, he is able to create almost surrealistic portraits by focusing on the essence of things with remarkable deepness.
We are very excited to exclusively present four of his most important series to a small exclusive circle of collectors and friends of photography for the very first time:
ESSENCE, CREATURES OF THE SEVEN SEAS, OF MONSTER AND DRAGON, THE TRIBES OF OUR GENERATION, MUSES – HOMAGE TO AUGUSTE RODIN
Expect an evening with new impulses, unlocking new perspectives and unique art of photography that sets new standards.
It would be a great pleasure to welcome you on Thursday, October 10th 2019.
