About this artwork
When seeing Joris Graaf's work, most people believe they’re looking at paintings, but they’re actually looking at digital photographic artworks.
To make these images, he starts with multiple-exposed photographs of scenes that he either finds or builds himself with various materials. Then he intuitively processes these images in the digital realm to remove, accentuate or alter elements of the composition.
His work is purely emotional. There are no… hidden messages. Just like a song can transport the listener to a different space and time, even if the lyrics are not clear, he wants his images to move people, to take them on a trip to a fictional place or situation, to a different relationship with different people. He wants to take them to a place where emotions are intense.
Print on Hahnemühle German Etching paper with a 1cm white border to facilitate framing.
Image: 86x90cm. Print: 88x92 cm.
Also available in a separate edition (7 + 3 artists proofs) of smaller prints (40x42)

« Art is about creating emotional experiences. Let's make them intense. »
Joris Graaf describes himself as a completely intuitive and emotional artist. His works have recurring stylistic elements which include the intensity of composition and color combinations, high contrasts, as well as the interplay between order and chaos, melody and noise. Graaf’s artistic process begins with the quest for interesting textures and structures to photograph, which he often creates himself using varied materials. Several multiple-exposed photographs serve as the ‘raw ingredients’ of his compositions.
