Three Iris Kæmpferi by Kazumasa Exhibition Size:M - 50 x 70cmThis exhibition presentation of Ogawa Kazumasa's iris study frames three Japanese Iris kmpferi specimens within a composed, graphic layout that bridges 19th century Japanese botanical documentation and the formal conventions of exhibition design. The coloured photographic originals produced using Kazumasa's pioneering collotype process are presented here with typographic elements that evoke the refined aesthetic of a period museum display. The result
Printed in Berlin with museum-grade archival inks
There is an immediacy to the composition that feels cinematic: a single frame drawn from a longer story
and nature distilled to its visual essence
There is a cinematic quality to the stillness: the sense that something has just happened
The graphic language is spare and confident
his application of colour restrained to the point of austerity
As an archival fine art print produced in our Berlin studio
Mucha's flowing contour lines
creating a piece that feels both wild and carefully composed
creating a rhythm that feels almost musical across the page
the graphic precision of Doudine's linework and the full saturation of her colour palette come through without compromise
Hasui's synthesis of traditional ukiyo-e spatial logic with a modern sensitivity to atmosphere is fully present
