Inspired by my last visit to Florence, a medieval spell carried me on to create new artworks with a modern twist to reflect our present realities.
Unexpected details that can be missed at first glance, were achieved by an interplay or overlapping of different additions to the imagery that unites the whole in a coherent final piece, even though it's all invented truth.
Chris Albert is a Toronto-based, award-winning photographer. His series “Abstract Realism” presented as kinetic, visually layered statements.
"In my abstract realism series, I look for forms, movement and elements, I explore the use of ideas or concepts through realism, and seek to reveal the relationship between photographic depiction and visual perception. Sometimes juxtaposing and sometimes layering to convey an imagery that can be a powerful channel to visually express an abstract contemplation."
