"Van Gogh Dreams of a Late Dinner At Benito's, Fort Worth"
Archival museum canvas print
The series "Van Gogh Dreams of ..." goes in a completely different direction from the minimally edited and what-you-see-is-what-you-get aesthetic I've always followed with the Holga.
Using my absolutely juvenile Photoshop skills, I digitally edit Holga images of recognized scenes to replicate (sort of) Van Gogh's brushwork and eye for light. For the full monty, the images are printed onto museum canvas and subtly varnished to further evoke the sense of a painting.
The concept was inspired by being asked to exhibit in the lobby during a local theater company's production of Sherlock Holmes spoof, "Van Gogh's Ear."
