Peter Zurek (1959)
All pictures are
single shots only. No additional software touching original data is used
including adjusting or cropping the image. Pure photography created only by
camera and imagination.
His original profession is nuclear physicist. After a years spent in IT industry with cross branch presentations full of enthusiasm he turned back to creative photography.
The latest development in digital photography and high
quality large format printing technologies allowed him to realize his project
Big Original – large format original pictures and multi platform works of art
followed by series of exhibitions.
Photographic pictures of Peter Zurek come in useful as an art decoration in modern private and company interiors. Pictures are signed and numbered prints. Thanks to special ink printing technology compositions are keeping deep black tones with very soft and wide palette of color tints. Color fade resistance is tested for more than 82 years.
The photograph prints are mounted on aluminium composite plate to prevent twisting caused by influence of humidity and temperature changes. Mounting in unique border-less full glass dust free frame is underlining aesthetic feeling and long term image value.
"During my
travels discovering places untouched by tourism I have a chance for dreams and
imagination. When watching movie projection, I want to be surrounded by a huge
screen and to let the feeling of the piece freely breath, just as with my
images: let them draw you in, give vent to feelings, release your fantasy, be
lost in dreams.
I took the images
in different parts of the world over the last 4 years. All of them are original
shots taken by digital camera, not adjusted or retouched compositions – one
shot. Just as I saw them in my camera viewfinder and in my imagination. You may
try to investigate the dynamic pictures to find out how various and
contradictory movements can be painted by a single camera shot. Be lost in
dreams. Free you ideas, the large free space. As with a large screen projection.
The answer can be found there."
