This mesmerizing work of artistic infrared photography showcases the brilliant conceptual depth of the series The Infinite by the renowned creative partnership Hunter & Gatti. Developed to transcend typical human sensory boundaries, the piece utilizes specialized black and white infrared techniques to trap a completely alternative, invisible reality where light spectrums are dynamically inverted. Printed on a luxury fine art metallic paper sheet with a shimmering pearlescent coating, the haunting composition highlights the ethereal silhouette of a figure clad in a wide-brimmed hat rising from smoke-colored greys into a vibrant, electric pink horizon. Directly hand-altered by the artists using thousands of micro-scratches and expressive acrylic spots.
The “visible” spectrum, is probably the most well-known of human sensory limitations, as the human #eye is only capable of perceiving light at wavelengths between 390 and 750 nanometers. Of course, calling it the “visible” spectrum is a bit of a misnomer, as plenty of animals are capable of perceiving light with frequencies outside this relatively narrow band of electromagnetic radiation. Using infrared black and white photography, the images shift, as you just saw, the greens become almost white and the blues a dramatic dark. The colors are not distorted, a different part of the spectrum is simply captured, it is another reality, it totally differs from the reality we know, that is why cameras and films have been always prepared to eliminate ultraviolet and infrared light, so that their results is the one that human eye sees, and that´s what we change.
Purchase this investment-grade original piece of artistic infrared photography by Hunter & Gatti and elevate your contemporary fine art portfolio.
