Initiated at the end of the 1970s, at a time when artistic photography was almost exclusively a matter of black and white, the “Photocolore” series is particularly revealing of the practice of John Batho, an artist born in 1939. Very early, from 1963 , the choice of color seems obvious to him. In the photographs he takes of his close environment, he isolates everyday objects on a colored background to…

As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries,…

Staley-Wise Gallery presents their new exhibition Art + Fashion in those words : “Sculpture and painting have always inspired photographers, presenting a challenge and an opportunity for a dialogue between artists – sometimes reverential and sometimes provocative.

As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: You can only see what you already know and understand. There are probably more incomprehensible than comprehensible phenomena between heaven and earth, and it is in this in-between, the known and the unknown that artists Roel Stels and Bart Ramakers operate. At first sight, no two artists are more different from each other. Roel is a maker, a constructor, a do-it-yourself engineer who starts with a…

A brief and little-known period is thus explored: when artistic color photography reached the walls of museums and galleries previously reserved for black and white (it generally began in 1976 with the exhibitions of William Eggleston and…
"His photographs are beautiful, but it is not so much the beauty you see with your eyes that is the point. It is the fact that the beauty he has captured with his camera was not the same before he clicked the shutter and will not be the same after. That impermanence is the more profound beauty he seeks in his work."—Eikoh Hosoe Veritas Editions, the premier publishing house specializing in…
