Hi friend

Welcome to shoot # 34
– a digital photo gift from Oberg Photographics – a moment of meditation with which I wish you a good weekend and “weekbegin.”

Sean Scully, The Biennale, Venice and Iran
The photo above is “Sean Scully at Palazzo Falier” in Venice. It’s taken within the 15 min in the afternoon when the sun sets between the buildings along Canal Grande in such a way that it illuminates – magically – Sean Scully’s powerful oil painting. The shapes of the door and the radiator correspond with the rectangular fields in his work.

You may read a little overview of this year’s Biennale on my photo and other art blog. Iran’s pavilion, far away near the Jewish ghetto, stood out for its theme, quality, diversity, its inclusive regionalised idea and for the old factory environment. More about it later. And did you know that Iran holds an incredible collection of contemporary Western art – well preserved although being controversial?

Looking for gifts this time of the year?
Is there a more lasting gift than a unique photo in a limited edition, signed and numbered and with print documentation? I do the entire shoot-to-print process myself and the works are only sold by me. That’s your guarantee of both quality and cheapest price. Be inspired at my homepage (also with new editions), write or call me and I shall be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Close to southern Sweden? Come around
“Pictures At An Exhibition” is on show at my studio together with the “Rouen Cathedral Suite # 1-10” inspired by Roy Lichtenstein’s 1969-series based on Claude Monet’s impressionist paintings is also on show. More on the idea and how it was executed on my art blog.

Hi friend

Welcome to shoot # 33

Thousands have been standing where the picture above is taken – fascinated by the atmosphere close to St. Marco Square and with the St. Giorgio Church in the distance. But few may have taken it with this sense of water, clouds and air inside the image – ephemeral as Venice is.

I’m exploring the Biennale – a world art event in its last week – called “All The World’s Futures”. My preliminary thoughts here will be elaborated shortly. In my view, this Biennale wasn’t as inspiring as earlier years. It is more about the national past than the global future.

It may – may – indicate the relative decline of Western art. The pavilions and artists from Iran, China, Japan, South Korea etc. being way more interesting than, say, the UK, Denmark, France, Holland, etc.

The evocative streetphoto above is one out of some fifty I shot standing there for some time. I selected this one because of the bicyclist’s balancing act, the combination of colours and the reflections of the red traffic lights along the entire wall.

Sure, photography is about light. But it’s also about space/place and time(ing), about getting that special one-time combination and composition.

It’s the time of the year when we look for gifts

This coming week I’ shall be in Belgrade, Serbia and Timisoara, Romania. It could be that something comes out of that photographically.
