JEAN-BAPTISTE HUYNH – MONOCHROME
2011-11-28The photographs of the series Monochrome, created by Jean-Baptise Huynh in 2010/11, are characterized by the strict and uncompromising reduction to the colour black. A spare but elaborate lighting supports this feature, so that the black objects and portraits appear in their deepest shades. The dominant black impressively embraces the colour meaning of sublime elegance and mysteriousness, as well as the complaining subtlety and elusiveness, which imposingly unfold in the photographs – a delightful interaction, encouraged by the compositional clearness, so that the recipient can experience the creation and its distinctiveness of the colour black.
Jean-Baptise Huynh was born in France, as a son of a French mother and a Vietnamese father in 1966. So far, nine publications of his extensive photographic work of landscapes, portraits, nudes and still life have been released, all in sophisticated and high-quality design.
Exhibition runs through to January 28th, 2012
