ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Small size Gina says this about this new work "I was going to shoot this on the first day but as it was a weekday I thought it may not be the best idea as it would be more busy in the area. I am lucky I decided this as I found out later part of the palace is used as council offices for the town! It has been under renovation for over 20 years but in the last few years the project has been abandoned. It was completed in the 18th century with avant-garde style architecture forms, connecting to the palace next door. It features a huge clock tower and ornamental motifs typical of the eighteenth century. There are several grand staircases and every single internal room has been frescoed by 3 relatives all working together to create these beautiful optical illusion artworks, called Quadratura and di sotto in sù, which means seen from below. Every ceiling is painted in this amazing place and it gave me great pleasure staring at the frescoes and all the details and characters while taking photos here" Printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm Giclee print, a premium quality paper, which is perfect for Gina Soden's brightly coloured and textured images. Fine Art Baryta paper has a similar foundation to that used in the past in traditional silver fibre prints. Its premium formulation allows for high image definition and 3-dimensional colour depth. The paper's unique glossy Baryta surface lends itself perfectly to saturated colour images. Edition of 15 with 2 A/P's. Your print is produced direct from Gina Soden's studio who personally proofs and check the artwork. It will then be packaged and rolled in a tube sent by courier. Size includes a 2cm border so it is ready for framing. With your artwork there will be a signed & numbered certificate of authenticity. This can be affixed to the back of the print when framed

At the heart of my photography is a preoccupation with abandoned structures and locations. Traveling widely to undisclosed sites throughout Europe, I explore the boundaries of beauty, decay, nostalgia and neglect. The genesis of each of my pieces is often the unique architectural character of each location, heightened by their painfully slow transformation after years of abandonment. Kate Bryan; 2012 "​Rather than taking a documentary approach, Soden breathes a sense of life into the scenes, hinting at narrative with studied compositions. Characteristically each image has a distinctly painterly aesthetic, side stepping the tendency that photography has for observational and distanced looking. Soden’s approach is lyrical and directs the viewer to explore the concepts of time and memory. The compositions feature derelict asylums, long since closed schools, ex-military compounds and famous city power stations in various stages of decay. The results are striking and poignant, at once both edgy in their contemporary aesthetic and nostalgic in their ruinous beauty. The work is underscored by the potential controversy of gaining unlicensed access to the out of bounds areas. Every image is a product of a journey, referring both to the physical demands of gaining entry and to the passing of time which is evident in the abandoned locations. Like the Romantic poets before her, Soden offers room to reflect on more romantic notions of beauty and a sense of calmness despite collapse and structural devastation"
