BEYOND MONOCHROME
Group Exhibition
Beyond Monochrome is a black and white group exhibition conceived and produced by Redlab, bringing together a curated selection of works by eight artists.
The project encompassed artist and image selection, fine art printing, framing, and exhibition launch—handled entirely by Redlab to ensure a unified and precise presentation.
PROJECT STATEMENT
Beyond Monochrome is an exploration of the borders of Black and White photography in the field of art. The subjects depicted are landscapes, either geographic or corporal. With an apparent absence of grit, a character predominant in black and white photography, the artists’ works in this exhibition filter the silence from the noise.
The creative process is not the one that merely involves bleeding the image dry of its palette. Instead, image-making undergoes a meditative process that is deeply anchored on each artist’s personal vision. The absence of grit is deliberately replaced by the weight of time, revealed in the way the artists carefully constructed the images. In some, time is presented as a fragment of a moment that resists replication. In others, time drags its heavy feet, deceptively creating a visual illusion that hangs between stillness and motion.
A semblance of space is created, but it is never really the geographic references nor the corporal landscape that these images are about. Rather, the works in this exhibition delicately define the silence in black and white, the unspoken grays in photography at a time when the medium is gripped by velocity and mass commercial use.
