RILA FUKUSHIMA - VOGUE TAIWAN, Signed Ltd. Edit. of 10, C-Print Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

AKOS is a photographer of remarkable skill and virtuosity, whose illustrious career spans over more than three decades and several continents. Established as a preeminent beauty photographer, he has collaborated with the most prominent luxury brands in the world, L'Oreal, Garnier, and Avon etc., crafting iconic images that have graced the pages of VOGUE, Harper's Bazaar, and other top fashion magazines globally. However, it is in his recent digital manipulation works that AKOS has truly distinguished himself as a master of the art. Upon viewing his mesmerizing compositions, one cannot help but be struck by the intricate and hypnotic nature of his pieces. AKOS masterfully blends elements of beauty photography with digital manipulations to create a visually stunning array of new artworks. His command of color, form, and composition is apparent in each piece, seamlessly integrating digital manipulation into his photographic images. One of the most striking aspects of AKOS's artwork is his use of multi-exposures and layering to create a sense of depth and movement. This technique is particularly evident in his online Gallery Exhibit ( www.T.LY/Gallery ) – THE LIGHTNESS OF BEING – DIGITAL ABSTRACT NUDES & NFT’S - where he employs a dynamic inspiring exchange of light and shadow to create a sense of energy within the composition. Another notable aspect of AKOS's artwork, seen in his Exhibit ( www.T.LY/Gallery ): “The Lightness of Being – Digital Abstract Nudes & NFT's," is his use of classical painting styles and techniques. This is particularly evident in works where he employs a digital painterly approach, creating a sense of texture and depth within the composition. His use of color and light is also reminiscent of the great painters of the past, with rich and vibrant hues that evoke a sense of passion and emotion. Works such as “WATERNUDES” incorporate a dreamlike quality, with swirling colors and abstract shapes that create a sense of otherworldliness. In other works the sense of surrealism can be found, enhanced by his use of patterns and images projected onto the female models, creating a sense of disorientation and mystery. Informed by his extensive knowledge of classical painting styles and techniques, AKOS employs a variety of digital tools, including carefully crafted multi-exposures, solarisation, to create deeply resonant images that blur the line between photography and painting.
