"Path 3"

c-print on acrylic glass on aluminum (Diasec)

The work of Eeva Karhu has been strongly influenced by the impressionists, in particular by Monet and Turner. She follows the concept of capturing a moment by using light and colour to create a certain atmosphere. Light as the initial starting point for her work as a photographer implies not only the possibility to transpose a sentiment into a tableau but also serves as the essence of colour. In their result very impressionistic, the method of Karhu´s work is rather cubistic: In one image, hundreds of various fragments of the same motif can be seen from numerous different angles.
