Gavin Harrison : Corrosion

British fashion photographer and artist Gavin Harrison has just released his first fine art pigment print, Corrosion.  The print is 40 cm x 50 cm and printed by Mariela Cadiz in association with Burning Boy Press onto heavy German Etching paper using archival inks process. The edition is limited to 50, each signed, numbered and dated by Harrison.

Gavin, a professional illustrator and fashion photographer, says he fully embraced the freedom of self publishing and used all his skills to produce a rich, highly detailed work about portraiture and time. "I wanted to make this print for myself," he says. "For my own walls.  And to make something something that would work off vintage furnishings and contemporary design. A piece that brought together a collection of surfaces to reflect the world that I live in...and maybe some other people as well."

The artist pulled together a number of different media like aged paper, flaking iron, and a stenciled wall – oxidation in all its forms – and something iconic and British: The school boy photograph from the early 20th century.  The effect is nostalgic – an essay on decay, loss, memory and in the end, civilization. The result is dark but humorous and visually compelling.


Corrosion is available directly from Gavin Harrison for £120.00.  You can order the work here.

Gavin has long worked as a photographer for numerous fashion and editorial projects in the UK and internationally. His portraits of both men and women, sometimes whimsically attired and posed, are humorous, scintillating and extremely sexy.

Markus Hansen: With My Own Eyes At Espace Ricard Paris

Burning Boy Press Paris is happy to announce the production of the exhibition prints for Markus Hansen. The prints will be featured in the exhibition at the Espace d'Enterprise Ricard in Paris. 

The two large pigment prints, "Calf With My Own Eyes" and "Pig With My Own Eyes," each measure 150 x 200 cm.  The artist inserted his own eyes into the photographs of these two animals. 

These pigment prints are produced on Hahnemühle Ultra Smooth 305 gsm.  Each print is then mounted on Dibond 3mm.  Click on the images to enlarge.

In these photos, Mariela is showing the test prints to Markus and Bruno Scotti. A number of different papers were tested.  The studio in Paris is set up so that the light is strong but neutral so that a range of paper qualities can be judged without bias.

Vernissage: Monday, June 6th at 18h30. Exhibition from June 7 - July 9, 2011.  Espace d’entreprise Ricard  12 rue Boissy d’Anglas 75008 Paris, France.
