My new blog with mostly abstract work

[cassel]

These are great- wonderful textures and colors. I agree that they would look nice as large prints- museum worthy! I think they also work as a commentary on age, patina, and urban decay. You can't fake the years required to create these little scenes.

Very nice work - you do have an eye for abstracts.

Thanks, guys - you're most kind!

This is simply one of the best series I have seen for a long time now.
If you ever think of printing a book....

It is certainly a cohesive body of work.

It's radical in the best sense. The formal restrictions are rational and consistent, and the images offer a rigorous sort of pleasure, like certain piano studies--Bartok's Mikrokosmos, Bach's Two Part Inventions. The human subject is missing, and landscape and weather, but to complain about these would be like pointing out the absence of strings and woodwinds and brass in the Bartok. We're given lots of space in which to meditate. There are no distractions in this kind of abstraction.

I like to do a similar type of photography. However, I get 4-5 good images in a year whereas you seem to get a couple of hundred. Impressive.

Thanks a lot, guys! Wow, Robert, what to say to this? Must admit I find it pleasing to be called radical. Not to mention describing my work and mentioning Bartok and Bach in the same sentence 🙂

I got my first real test print. 90x60 cm, original photo print on aluminium backing:

Part of a truck's muddy tire. Berlin, 2013.

Looks fantastic. Would be happy to have that hanging on my wall.

Yes, I'm very pleased, whitewall did a good job.
Oh, and it's for sale 😀

I used the weekend for re-dressing my website. I don't have a clue about web design but I tried to give it at least a semi-professional look. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the way to hide all the "follow", "like" and many other such buttons and stuff (I'm using a tumblr theme).

More importantly, though, I arranged many images into 7 series which can be accessed via the drop down menu.

Please take a look if curious, I'd love to hear what you think: www.blazkutin.com

Blaz, I missed seeing this thread. Your body of work is an inspiration.
But your new website is an improvement over the last one.

One comment, do mention something about pricing range on your website. Not all people are familiar with ImageKind.

 

[bk1970]

Thank you for your kind feedback, shadowfox!

Thanks, I will mention something about pricing. The whole selling part is still "under construction": I don't think ImageKind is enough as I want to offer other options for some images (aluminium backing, for example) which they don't provide.
