Richard Konecky

In his landscape photography Richard Konecky draws on a number of sources for inspiration – the abstract geometry of Richard Diebenkorn’s Ocean Park paintings and the pure abstraction of monochromatic line in the paintings of Franz Kline; the flowing colour of traditional Japanese woodblock printers and water colourists like Hiroshige and contemporary photographers such as Edward Burtinski or David Burdeny. He has also had a longstanding interest in and passion for macro photography and the way it changes the reality of what you see.  The deeper one delves into an object, the more it becomes something else: distilled form, light, shadow and shape.
