…because all art leaves an imprint and after a 4-year journey, InigoArt is starting to see the mark we have made. An immense Thank You to all of you, collectors, art enthusiasts, artists and galleries, who have supported InigoArt in so many ways this year. You give me purpose. 2019 has been a time to take stock and focus on existing projects.
IñigoArt Advisory celebrates its second anniversary with a group exhibition in a private domestic setting. True to our belief in building personal and unique private collections, we propose a journey of ideas around beauty in a home environment.
I meet Baud Postma at his studio in South London under the railway arches. We talk about authenticity and constructing images in the same breath. Postma’s expression lightens up when discussing the technical side of photography but he speaks with equal consideration for his sitters. His technical ability is admirable and it accomplishes poetic effects. However, it is the space he creates for fragility and vulnerability that echoes our will to relinquish strength. Sitters appear in thought, absent and introspect. Still life shows bruised and transient. It feels good to surrender projections and aspirations and just be.
I have chosen Baud Postma’s photograph to wave farewell to 2017. A tender embrace. A gentle touch of ambiguity about the bond that brings two men together. Because mystery, sensitivity and sensuality are three things I hope for in the New Year. The photograph is on show at the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize until February 8th. Go and see it these holidays.
I am heading to Colombia to capture inspiration and ideas for new projects. Follow the adventure on Instagram.
I wish you a wonderful festive season and I will see you in 2018.
