After more than 60 years as a photographer, film director, and writer, my husband Eldar now finds himself in the middle of what has become his most personal project: Digitalpoetism & Beyond.
Here, his photography, imagination, and digital tools come together in a new visual language. Some of his works will soon be available through GaffGaff Galleri as prints on paper and canvas.
He developed and refined this new visual expression during six months of cancer treatment. However, he has not yet had the financial means to complete the final and crucial production phase of the works intended for limited editions.
The Norwegian visual artist Eyolf Soot has invited Eldar to participate with ten prints in an art exhibition in Jomfruland, Norway, this summer, alongside works by renowned Norwegian artists Pushwagner, Thomas Bakkerud, and Soot himself.
This is a rare opportunity for Eldar to present his work in a professional context.
Five selected works for the exhibition:
However, these works still need to be tested and finalized as aluminium prints, with the correct surface and precise color reproduction. Mounting of fine art prints on Dibond aluminum to the level Eldar requires is currently unavailable where we live in the Philippines. He works in the landscape between kitsch and art, and he wants the absolute best for his creations.
Eldar is therefore planning a trip to Budapest, where both giclée printing and mounting on Dibond are of the highest international standard. There, he will collaborate with Giclée Factory and Pigmenta Art Print Lab to ensure the best possible results.
We have invested everything we can into this project and launched a campaign in Norway to make his participation in the Jomfruland exhibition possible. This article is an attempt to also reach out to our English-speaking friends to help make this great opportunity come through.
Support the Project
If you connect with his work, you now have a unique opportunity to acquire a series of four aluminium prints created exclusively for this campaign:
Four aluminium prints (45 × 30 cm). Signed and numbered series – maximum 15 prints per motif.
A visual story about being human. Four moments. One movement. A very limited edition.
The aluminum prints will be shipped as carefully protected packages by June 20. Eldar is offering the series at 450 EUR (half the gallery price).
You can also support the project by purchasing individual prints on classic matte paper, each numbered below: 65 EUR for one, 160 EUR for three, and 275 EUR for six.
These prints will be shipped rolled in protective cardboard tubes by June 20. A certificate will be sent by email after you have made your selection.
If you would like to purchase, please feel free to contact me directly at: [email protected]
