This work is framed 8mm face and 65mm depth.
Chromogenic print face-mounted 8 mm plexiglass
Edition: Multiple, Unframed.
Backed with Dibond and C-channel hanging system + keyhole option.Edition: 1/3.Paul Snell combines traditional and digital techniques to explore the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism in contemporary photo-media. He lives and works in Launceston, Tasmania.Snell creates small production runs, printing each unique work in an edition of one to three. His process begins by capturing a location or an object on film with a traditional camera. He then digitallydecodes the visual information present in that image. After reducing and simplifying the colors and forms, he begins an intensivere-coding process, during which the reduced formal elements of the work evolve their own self-referential relationships within a new composition. This process blurs the boundary betweentaking andmaking a photograph. When the digital composition is complete, Snell converts it into a Chromogenic print using the Lambda printing system, which allows luminous, vibrant, colorful photographic printing onto metallic paper. The print is then mounted onto Plexiglass.The visual lexicon Snell has developed is informed by the Modernist history of painting, especially minimalism and hard edged abstraction.Snell intends to create visually arresting works that allow viewers to enter into a contemplative, or even transcendent state. He achieves this through the deployment of rhythmic, harmonious visual structures such as concentric circular or linear patterns.
Paul Snell combines traditional and digital techniques to explore the possibilities of abstraction and minimalism in contemporary photo-media.He lives and works in Launceston, Tasmania. Snell earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts at University of Tasmania in 1989, his BFA (Honors) from University of Tasmania in 1995, and his Masters of Contemporary Arts from the University of Tasmania in 2011. Snell creates small production runs, printing each unique work in an edition of one to three.His process begins by capturing a location or an object on film with a traditional camera.

The visual lexicon Snell has developed is informed by the Modernist history of painting, especially minimalism and hard edged abstraction.Snell has described his artistic practice as a search forsensory understanding of the physical object. His images are abstract, yet also declare a certain concrete recognition of their own material substance. Snell intends to create visually arresting works that allow viewers to enter into a contemplative, or even transcendent state. He achieves this through the deployment of rhythmic, harmonious visual structures such as concentric circular or linear patterns.Color relationships and spatial realities are also of primary importance to Snell. The iconic presence of his works is due in part to the dynamism of the color relationships, in part to the architectonic-yet-open nature of his compositions, and in part to the vibrant, luminous qualities of the surfaces. Describing his work Snell has said,These pieces are not representations of certain realities; they are their own reality. The absence of signs or objects invites the viewer to drift among primal and tonal aesthetic matter. The aim has been to immerse the viewer in color, rhythm and space, creating a sensory experience of inner contemplation and transcendence. Snell has exhibited his work extensively throughout Australia and Tasmania, and selectively in the United States His work is included in numerous public and private collections, including that of ArtBank, the Devonport Regional Gallery, the Burnie Regional Gallery, and the Justin House Museum.
