VERNET’S WORLD in B/W

With “Alpine Whispers”, photographer Marshall Vernet tells a very personal story of Saanenland. A deep contrast and impressive vibrancy characterise images in majestic black and white. Viewers immediately feel as if they are standing there, right in nature! A special technique is used to achieve this –different shots of the same subject, from very light to very dark, then layered and made into a single photo. And so, the black areas come out particularly black, and the white areas particularly white, hence the contrasts.

VIBRANT AND TROPICAL LINES IN SAANEN

“The coming together of this show derives from a very personal passion of mine: I love colour! “says Andreas Siegfried, founder of Siegfried Contemporary Art Advisory, about his latest show in Saanen.

Both artists, Paulo Monteiro and Jonathan Trayte, greatly understand colour and its power to create elegant and whimsical works of art. A daily dose of their work would enhance anybody’s winter mood. There is a distinctly tropical theme to Trayte's work, and at the same time, it is very often linear in its appearance; it finds its common ground with Monteiro, who is Brazilian by birth and explores the interaction between colour and space juxtaposing the interiors of his objects.

It is refreshing to see the personal choice of Andreas Siegfried, and with this bold come-together of Trayte’s voluptuous vegetable sculptural lamps and Monteiro’s clean lines it surely brings a lot of colours to a dull February day.
