Exhibition | Final

My final idea for this project, was to exhibit my work in a unique style, but also keeping to a classic style as well. The gold frames help boost the appearance of the images, whilst keeping to the Rembrandt style and style of display. The white borders in the frames then create a more modern feel to the display, as I wanted to mix modern with old, as shown in the images: modern smart attire, in an old style portrait, as well as including fruit in in photo, mixing still life with portraiture, which I feel has been carried out effectively. The greenery helps mix in with the images, as it gives contrast to the frames, as well as mixing nature with portraiture, which is what my images do with the fruit. Also I feel that in the time of Rembrandt, nature was a big thing, and most things where natural in that era.

My pictures are displayed just under eye level, as the bushes aren’t high enough to be at eye level. But this gives the classic gallery feel to the display which I wanted to try and create. Also they are set out in an “M” shape to give depth to the layout, whilst also showing off the importance and beauty of the female in the centre. I feel that I could have chose a better location for my images, like a prettier and greener area, to really bring out the golden frames, and to make the photos more prominent. I could have also created more images, and uses more bushes, to really fill the area, making the whole environment about my images, making them more visible for the public to see.

Overall, I feel my exhibition was unique, as I used small images in frames, which all linked in with each other, and tried to set them out in a natural format, showing off natural beauty in and around my images, which is what I wanted to display.
