Next Wednesday I fly out to Geneva and travel to Chamonix to put together a small exhibition of some of my work at the Galerie du Globe in Argentiere. The theme of the work is “Earth” and this selection of 6 images concentrates on images shot on my recent trip to New Zealand. The show will consist of a triptych and 3 single images, although 2 of the images go really well together to form a diptych. The images have been professionally printed to an A2 size and then mounted and framed to gallery standard using the Diasec method.
Diasec is a patented method whereby the printed images are flush mounted onto a sheet of aluminium, and then covered in a bonding agent and a sheet of perspex is put over the top. This removes all air from the image, gives it a sense of depth and vivacity and saturates the colours. The end result is very powerful and really complements the work.
All the work is for sale and the intention is that this will lead to a bigger show later in the year.
The image below is being used as the lead image on all press documents and is one of the 3 that make up the triptych:
The press release to accompany the show reads as follows:
Invitation to Charlie Pinder – New exhibition – Private View 8th April 2010
“Voyage”
Charlie Pinder travels the world, documenting everything he sees, combined with his camera and unique vision. His vision is one of beauty, colour and texture.
Charlie Pinder’s compositions seem sculpted, man made, but it is simply nature, timing and his vision which renders us these beautiful images.
The collection to be on display is intimate, close up portraits of mountains and nature in New Zealand’s beautiful and wild landscapes.
Charlie Pinder has been taking photographs since childhood, and has lived and worked around the world.
He has been commissioned for Time Out, Visit Britain and The Evening Standard. He has worked for the designer Bill Amberg, and has also been asked to photograph celebrities and politicians such as Nicole Farhi and David Cameron.
