Jonas Loellmann

Composed of abstract compositions and images of the natural world, Jonas Loellmann’s work is focused on the experience of a moment and how a potential for emotions and transcendence can be found in visual perception.
Loellmann often travels to different coastal locations, working in and around these areas and seeking places to surf, using the ocean and its surroundings as a recurrent motif. These subjects are presented as combinations of fixed-point contemplations and abstract immersions, absorbing the viewer into a shifting environment of saturated, auric hues in which subjects become forms that enable an experience.
Loellmann actively surrenders his own notion of how things should be an opens himself up to possibility, allowing for an interaction between photographic material and the physical world to capture an encounter. He is interested in the hidden vibrations and energies that exist around us, using analogue techniques as part of an intentional process to further explore a dialogue between inner and outer perception.
