Study in Green # 2, 2003

A little girl in a forest of large trees sees a stranger and is startled. And then... This fairy tale is technically unmistakeably a photograph. The camera lens zooms in razor sharp on a doll-like girl with doe eyes wearing a retro dress. Blurred leaves frame her and create depth. Using the computer ... , Van Empel edits many photographic images, just as a painter continually makes corrections while painting. In turn, he keeps copying-and-pasting new visual elements, which produces this non-existent ideal image. Text: Chris Reinewald From: Museum MORE: 100 jaar realisme, 2020, Gorssel
