Gilbert Van Den Bloeck : Photography Graphic Etching Portfolio

Basics and differentiation

With information technology as profession, I am mainly interested in the logic and the flow of things. But there is something else that makes it all worthwhile. The Underlying, unrevealed, waiting to be discovered. The little twist, the unexpected, the surprise.

It's not that much about detail. It's more about the framework. The detail comes in to differentiate. It imposes a look and feel of uniqueness. Today, images of mainly digital nature are abundantly available. Most have been treated with technological tools to make them the ideal fit for the job.

In my Photography I very often turn to black and white. I feel like this is the approach that best fits my thoughts of fundamental quality and differentiating detail. Those thrifty times where I do use colour, are the occasional moments where it acts as either. See my Extended Photo Portfolio

My Graphical work shares the same spirit. Except that colour is more prominent. The number of colours used is very limited though. Actually, I use colour in the same way as I do black and white in photography.
