Gabriel Jones

Galerie Bugdahn und Kaimer, Dusseldorf

Somewhere on Time II. At the interface of portrait, landscape, architectural and societal photography, he develops his colour photographs by consciously combining specific environments in outdoor urban or landscape spaces with various sitters. He adds to the natural light conditions using the artificial light of studio lamps. This procedure explains the absence of shadows and lies behind the homogenous wealth of detail in his works; coupled with the later measure of digital colour editing ('desaturation' of the original colours) and an as if faded base note of colour that runs through the entire series, predominantly in grey, green and brown, it gives rise to melancholy images of hyper-realistic ('supernatural') and unfamiliar air - as unsettling as they are fascinating.
