Detailed description
Picture "Tunnel II", unframed
Werner Pawlok's series "moving cities" shows city views of New York that almost look like paintings. They are based on spontaneous, almost casual snapshots taken with the simplest equipment (such as a cell phone camera), which are then elaborately processed in the studio. The rough pixels are transformed into areas of colour, resulting in shadowy city portraits that come much closer to the "true" face of the city than any glossy postcard.
Reproduction on artist's cotton canvas, stretched on a real wooden stretcher frame. Limited edition of 199 copies, numbered on the back and signed by the artist. Size 100 x 70 cm.
About Werner Pawlok
Werner Pawlok is one of the most renowned photographers of our time and has been offering his skills to major brands and magazines for many years. At the same time, he is one of the few artists in his field who effortlessly manages the balancing act between serving and expressing his own art.
A process for producing images by the action of light, which became widely known in 1839. Photography quickly became the basis for the expanding image industry that pushed the manually produced pictures, paintings and drawings into the background.
The avant-garde painting adopted photographic form elements, to ensure its painting validity. In the 1920s, many avant-garde painters devoted themselves to photography. With his photographs and photomontages, the American painter Man Ray developed new means of expression in modern art, the so-called "rayographs".
The Pop Art of the 1960s varied and alienated the public photograph with the help of technical means. The American pop artist Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) is the most famous master of this art movement with his images and image series created in this way.
