Archives - June 23, 2021 “Creativity, with the help of Colour, is not just arbitrary creation but a movement which propels life.” – Franco Fontana Atlas Gallery presents Language of Colour, the first UK exhibition in 17 years of work by Franco Fontana (b.1933), the pioneering Italian colour photographer renowned for his intense and abstracted ‘scapes’: landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and bodyscapes. The gallery is showing selected large works from across Fontana’s…
Archives - June 17, 2019 The deep and shimmering colors picking up the calibrated geometric shapes of the photos by Franco Fontana, are on stage in Modena. Sintesi (Synthesis) is the title of the retrospective that FondazioneModena Arti Visive hosts outlining more than sixty years of the artist’s career and exploring his relationships with some of the most well-known photographers of the 20th century. L’Oeil de la Photographie interviewed Franco Fontana…
Archives - May 8, 2014 Bodies like landscapes, hills and planes with anthropomorphic outlines that unequivocally state the visual language of Franco Fontana. “Bright, vibrant colours; a rhythm set by overlapping lines and planes, geometrical shapes built by the light; hyper-real landscapes, true and surreal at one time”, Denis Curti, curator of the exhibition at Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti in Venice, says. More than 130 pictures dealing…

Broken Down The series takes the viewer along on a visual commentary on society's roles the genders are put into in western society. Broken Down shows us what the girl next door would look like if allowed to become the bad boy. The artist Bach is self-taught in all his artistic endeavors which has lead him to borrow influences from several different schools from the post-impressionist painters to Ansel Adams.…
One of our correspondents Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret has just sent us 2 of his favourites. The first one is Philippe Litzler: travels, travels. Philippe Litzler (director of OpenEye) does not seek to give a touristic vision of the places he visits. His way of looking is more impertinent and gets closer to people in everyday landscapes. He still refuses to sacrifice to caricature. He prefers tenderness not without beauty and humor. Both…
Kristian Gavoille : Photographer by accident. Born on the Congo River, Kristian Gavoille grew up on the Mediterranean coast. If he studied architecture and design, he dreamed long before that of becoming an oceanographer, then a sailing instructor in Banyuls sur Mer, his grandmother's village. In the end, destiny decided otherwise, and he also became a photographer. In 1986, he started as Philippe Starck's main collaborator before opening his own…

Archives - December 16, 2013 The celebrated 1975 book Skyline by Franco Fontana, one of the undisputed masters of color photography, has just been reissued. In 1978, Franco Fontana’s Skyline sent a shockwave through the world of photography. We had never seen landscapes like that, abstract and concrete, a set of perfectly horizontal lines aflame with sensual colors. With the reissue of Skyline nearly 35 years after its release, now…
Reverie Park Reverie Park is deeply influenced by the concept of the theatrical stage and a meditative engagement with the nocturnal. Created across both Ireland and Brazil, the series moves fluidly between real environments and constructed studio settings evoking the tension between vitality and decay. Through these visual contrasts, the work weaves a fragile thread that connects disparate realities, blurring the boundaries between the conscious world and the dreamscape. https://www.diegofabro.com/
Fallen Angels 'FALLEN ANGELS' began in Bangkok in 2015 and grew slowly over ten years. The project portrays Thai transgender women I met and photographed in different parts of the city, including apartments, hotel rooms, streets, rooftops, railway stations, markets, and quiet interiors. The work is built on trust, time, and individual encounters. I was not interested in turning the women photographed into symbols. I wanted to make portraits that…
Les Voisines A series of intimate portraits of women, nude (or nearly so), very natural, elegant, in their own world, in their private space, ready to create an image of themselves and let their personalities shine through. I am a photographer who has just retired. After years of working in fashion and corporate photography, I wanted to create a series on the nude. Part of this series was exhibited at…
Around the sea The series emerges from the encounter between the seascape and matter. Through double exposure, the horizon, water, and sky overlap with rocks, sand, and natural fragments found along the coastline, creating images suspended between reality and perception. The photographs do not simply depict the sea; they seek to convey its presence: shifting, layered, capable of preserving traces and transforming them. Different surfaces merge, boundaries become uncertain, and…
The uncanny strangeness of things I have long been interested in still life. Bringing objects together to photograph them (according to Charles Sterling’s definition of still life) creates a kind of mysterious alchemy between them. There is the pleasure of playing with composition. I have also sought to capture the uncanny quality of these objects that sometimes emerges. That very particular sensation where something familiar suddenly strikes us as strange…
Con Motto Con Motto is an imaging style specifically designed for artists who express themselves with motion. Each photograph is captured with a single press of the shutter button. There is minor retouching in Photoshop for artists complexions, or the errant nightstand, but no major compositing after exposure. The movement and pathos on set is exactly what appears in the final image.
The Intertidal Project The Intertidal Project explores innovative ways to depict the passage of time through my long-term, photo-based work, which examines how memory is formed when a person is affected by a cherished place. Each encounter etches a line of memory in time on both the person and location, like geological strata. Standing above the Pacific Ocean, I asked, “How can I capture the magnitude of tidal change in…
