Stillness (Unframed Print Artwork Only) Monty Kaplan

Customers Outside Australia:
This artwork is available to international customers as a Print-Only piece. Due to the dark tonal qualities of the artwork, we strongly recommend having it framed locally using non-reflective (anti-reflective) glass to achieve the best possible viewing experience.

Unfortunately, because of the challenges and risks associated with shipping fragile glass-fronted artwork internationally from Australia, The Cool Hunter is unable to supply this piece framed to customers outside Australia.

‘Stillness’, by Berlin-based photographer Monty Kaplan (Argentina) is a solemn and contemplative piece which instills in the viewer a sense of calmness and serenity. Devoid of any solid objects serving as the central focus, light itself becomes the subject of the viewer’s gaze. The composition is harmoniously divided between two rectangular fields of sea and sky, both only partially illuminated by daybreak, and partitioned by the dawn rays reflecting off the distant water’s surface. Ripples catching the soft light on an otherwise still sea highlight the inky blue-blacks of the water below creating a rich and textured surface, while the complexity of the clouds above is captured in the muted colour scheme of the low-light of the early morning sun. Tonally, the two halves complement each other and serve to amplify the element which brings both forth out of invisible darkness, light itself.
