Galleria Carla Sozzani presents Kenro Izu with a new series never exhibited before: Blue, a collection of large format platinum/palladium printed cyanotypes*.
Izu’s many years of experience as a master not only of photography but of the art of printing have culminated in development of an interesting new technique. Abstract forms in cyanotype emerge out of deep platinum shadows, leading the visitor through an unusual visual experience.
The photographs on show, divided into two sections, Nude and Still Life, share the same concept of light and shadow, integrated into a single visual experience: the hollow of a bare neck or folded hands like the elongated lines of vases and leaves, a woman’s flexed back like the stem of a flower, or the curves of the body like the calyx of a lily.
