Customer reviews
Das Bild ist toll, allerdings ist die Spiegelung durch die Glasoberfläche schlecht, man muss sehr genau schauen wo man das Bild aufhängt damit man keine Spiegelungen bekommt. Entspiegeltes Glas wäre da sehr hilfreich....
Bild ist wirklich sehr beeindruckend, die Farben sind sehr frisch und leuchtend und kommen sehr gut raus. ein klitzekleiner Nachteil: Durch die Acrylplatte spiegelt sich Lichteinfall im Bild und verträgt gar kein schräg einwirkendes Licht. Trotzdem 5 Sterne.
About Jürgen Born
"Colours that seem to have just been applied."
Self-forgetting, improvising musicians as an autonomous part of a grand musical composition. Jürgen Born (born in 1955) paints music in brilliant oil colours, using his unmistakable, highly expressive technique: The atmosphere of the session is palpable again. Sometimes they are memories of concerts, sometimes the German painter is inspired by historical photos. The German painter has devoted himself to jazz, fusing music and painting.
This form of presentation comes from the world of professional photographers and exhibition organizers. More and more artists create their works for this aluminium medium in high-tech composite. The metallic surface creates a synthesis with the colours. White areas of the image are shimmering matt-metallic, depending on the light source. They let the picture look classy and puristic. Thanks to the direct colour pigmentation the details are rendered accurately. Alu-Dibond is long-lasting and resistant.
