Ralph Kerle’s Objet D’Art are designed as acrylic facemounts. Acrylic facemounting is a process involving the application of an optically transparent adhesive to the face of a fine art photographic print.
The print adheres to the acrylic, otherwise known as plexiglass. giving the fine art photograph a very modern and vibrant look.
Plexiglass sheeting’s clarity allows for more than 90% of light to pass through, making it more transparent than glass.. Importantly, plexiglass remains clear in all conditions.
Part of the Paintings on Water Series
Paintings On Water is composed of works that reflect on abstractions in nature as an art form.
I am of the opinion abstract painting is not an unconscious act of visualization by an artist. I believe it forms as the result of an artist's subconscious observation in reality and an abstract painting is the artist's manifestation of what their brain has perceived it sees.
The Paintings On Water series is based on capturing those unconscious abstractions in nature first, using a 21st Century medium - the digital camera - enabling the viewer to form their own perceptions of what these natural abstractions represent.
