JACOB FELLÄNDER : Pentimento

26 Sep-1 Nov 2013

Overview

Hamiltons is proud to present ‘Pentimento’ the inaugural London based exhibition of exclusive works by Swedish photographer, Jacob Felländer. The exhibition includes sixteen large format images, 110cm x 110cm, from Felländer’s latest project, marking a significant and exciting shift in his work with the introduction of drawing and painting - challenging their relationship with photography. Pentimento is defined as an alteration in a painting, evidenced by traces of previous work: an original draft or under-painting that shows through with the use of infrared X-rays or when the top layer of paint has become transparent with age. “When is an image more a film than a photograph? When is a photograph more a painting than a photograph? The border territory fascinates me.”
