ARTISTS IN CONVENTION

Hong Kong based fine art photographer Olaf Mueller juxtaposes conventional photographic methods with modern digital technologies to create surreal and visually potent compositions. His captivating work displays a powerful duality between the real and the imagined, between conjured images and visual apparitions and between serene stillness and dynamic compositions. The results are soulful, mystic, deeply creative. The images employ clean lines and a multitude of different layers, textures and objects. From a distance, the work seems static and symmetrical. However on a close approach; asymmetrical elements emerge, creating an element of movement, yet maintaining a careful balance between distortion and clarity. Vintage and contemporary!

' I uncover magnificence in the details- the grains of fibre in a fabric, or a story that crisp lines on a face imparts on us, in my work; i lend myself to a surrealist perspective'. Beauty in the sharpness of an image or the vibrancy of saturated colour, in the fine art synopsis.
