Secrets of nature: Reflective water images

2018 Competition entry

Ndukenhle Mpanza

Details:
Signed
Etching on Fabriano
41 cm x 18,5 cm

Description:
In this work, the series of reflective ground surfaces is explored with more depth by depicting the details, which are projected by the natural light through the balance between the light and shadows that produces the visibility of the depicted objects as reflective images. An individual image is photographed from similar surfaces, which enhances the portrayal of the surfaces. The etching printworks show the relationship from the reflective ground water surfaces and the dried ground or land surfaces. Some reflective objects are man-made, while the others are natural objects. This artwork is etching printworks, which are transformed from photographs or digital images to drawings, and the final printed work is an etching print.
