Cyanotype ink on Guarro paper
Altian
Description
Altian
A first foray into figurative abstraction, Altian is a key work for Azul Loeve, the extract of a photo that stands out from what was captured by the camera. The photographic detail acquires an aesthetic force by losing its context of representation.
The work integrates traces, stains and paint strokes, related to the mineral composition of the photographed nature.
From my blue eyes
Travel diary to the land of wonder.
The point of view of my photographs is marked, the treatment noticed.
A detail calls out to me, a landscape moves me, I see poetic arrangements everywhere in the way the world is made and I try to capture them.
Once these visions have been collected, at the other end of the globe or at the counter next door, I still use a process of subjectivity, the blue, ostentatious cyanotype print, with a pictorialist treatment that disturbs, stains and transforms the image.
This old collection goes back to my beginnings with the medium, I was still very attached to photo negatives and used them to retranscribe my enchanted visions, the sparks that I detect in nature and among humans.
The principle of life in blue!
