Last summer I interned for a bit at my friends moms art studio, The Kristi Stubbs Gallery, in Dallas. Since the first day I was obsessed with the pieces from Georgia Jagger. Georgia is one of the many daughters of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall. She is extremely younger then myself, being born in 1992, yet she has already produced interesting art photography that is being sold by millions. Her photography is called chromogenic prints. It is printed from a chromogenic color negative which consists of dyes within gelatin layers on a plastic-coated paper base. With these types of prints the color is extremely changed, either making it darker, lighter, washed out, or plastic looking. The first pieces of the roses is my favorite. Yet I am sure the original is an extremely basic photo, making it a chromogenic changes the colors and appearance extremely. The second picture labeled, "Poppies" is also available in many different colors. It defiantly is more of an edgy piece with the drug needles included. I like her basic pieces. Taking a photograph of a more complex item and changing it through chromogenic print would be too much and over powering. I know that she is getting popular in the modeling world, but hopefully she will keep exploring with her photography skills.
Interesting work.
ReplyDeleteChromogenic prints are essentially... regular color photographs. They can be generated from negatives, transparencies or digital files. Perhaps she's done some photoshop to them?
What do you take away that might inspire your own work?
