Nico van Dongen / Fine Art / Photography / Fork Tree

$ 1,97500

"Fork Tree" is an ethereal and inviting image that beckons you to step inside. The visual experience provokes you to re-examine time and place, allowing you to stand in the light, surreal and in motion.

A result of a six-week photographic exploration of trees and vistas, each final photograph is the result of hours of production work combining multiple exposures and layering as one image–with evocative results: where the mind floats between space and time for one moment.

When you see them in person, you'll notice the painterly way the images translate. The layers are there to create an initial doubt in what you think you're looking at. Once you see them you can turn them off, but at the same time you have to surrender to them. Feels like a mix of realism, magic and fantasy captured through the eye of San Francisco artist and educator Nico van Dongen. 

Note, pending availability, there may be a 1-2 week delay to complete custom framing or custom printing of unframed photographs.

Nico van Dongen / Fine Art / Photography / Fork Tree - Framed 41x30" is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

Description
My intention is for this work to be about the visual experience and not let the tools stand in the way. The visual impact of the photography should speak louder than how it's been made, and you can filter out all those technical questions. This effect allows you to step into that image and be part of this transition of time and space in one moment. The layers just came–natural multiple images and multiple layers–whether you do it with negatives or in a digital camera.
