He is not interested in capturing the world in front of his lens. He uses light to create his own visual spheres. Using up to a thousand multiple exposures, he applies individual elements of colour and form to the negative, layer by layer. Meticulous calculations and geometrical skills are the necessary foundation for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe results are abstract photographs of impressive, colourful intensity and luminosity. This book of photos is based on the series \u003cem\u003eAdaptions\u003c\/em\u003e, which reproduces famous works by other artists. Luoma presents a fascinating visual game in which the independent charisma of the photographs acts in concert with its reverence toward Bacon, Hockney, Van Gogh, or Picasso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith tongue in cheek, Luoma thus realises the avant-garde's desire to liberate photography from reproducing reality, allowing it to become an art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461200265452,"sku":"9783775746892","price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783775746892-niko-luoma.jpg?v=1774961964","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/niko-luoma-by-timothy-persons-9783775746892","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
