Oberg art photo concept

by

Nowadays one must have a mission statement up front and any business must have a core concept. And of course people ask me now and then what kind of idea(s) my works are based on. Here is, in a nutshell what I can say: Art and peace are basic to my photo concept and, thus, to my life. Other elements are: • diversity of themes, seeing the big and the … Read More Oberg art photo concept

Cupido Multimedia Photo Collage Jan Oberg Putting this multi media photo collage up again here; yesterday’s version was too reddish and lacked contrast too. Thanks for your Likes. Hope you’ll like this a but more because, now, it is closer to the real thing. :-) Fine art digital print with fields with digital brushes + 2 original photos - the red one being itself a collage. In the bottom left a tiny square in golden leaf to balance it all. Is now shown at my studio. Remember the Konstkväll - Art Night - this coming Saturday. Welcome! Yellow/Orange Composition - Untitled Jan Oberg 2017 #abstract #abstractprint #digital #digitalbrushes #red #orange #digitalpainting #happycolours #rhythm #movement #happymoment #paintingforjoy #experiment #experimentalart Creating a multi-media photo collage # 2 Try unlimited images, pieces, scraps, cloth or whatever you've collected when saying - "ah, perhaps this can be used for something some day". What "fits"? Which sources may fit some other in shape, size, materialness, colour, etc? I ended up with coming down to only three pieces, keeping it as simple as possible: designed a special round double exposed image of Caravaggio's Cupido with a naked woman behind - the only round shape. Secondly an old test image of three faces printed on a small watercolour sketch book piece that had to be placed exactly at that height corresponding with both the five squares and the red above. Just a few millimetres different and it would fall apart as it is the strongest/ darkest image. But that was not enough, something missing - what?? Hours and hours of trial and error I found (letting it rest for days and then returning to it) that I had no image but had to construct instead a tiny little "balancer" in the lower left part. So, created that tiny tiny square covered with gold leaf. Because it shines it influences the whole more than its size would merit. Finished! It looks so simple. It isn't! And now it's going to hang for weeks or months - and either I will keep it and put it on my photo homepage. Or... I'll cut it to pieces that may fit another future work. It depends also on what my visitors say about it... What do you think??
