iylshowcase: Featured Artist - Elsa Bleda“Been tired of lo-fi. Let’s be more adventurous” I read on Elsa’s twitter, doing background for this. An artist whose work is described as ‘cinematic’ and ‘dystopic’, her photographs are definitely tell tales. Her most recent and first solo exhibition (and as I’m writing, ongoing), ‘Nightscapes’ is reminiscent of Michael Wolf’s shots of Hong Kong high rises but less documentarian. It has an emotional overtone that is made possible by the incredible light. The kinds of colours that look like they were made by gels but are just the city.The tone of the images is dictated by this light that is a saturated kind of dark romance, it encourages a narrative.If you’re in Johannesburg today, go and see the show.See more from Elsa Bleda -- source link
