DIGITAL ON CANVAS

 an exhibition by

 LASZLO GEORGE

This exhibition evolved over a lifetime of looking through a camera’s viewfinder with an experienced and creative eye. The images that were on show bore witness to the fact that, as a cinematographer, Laszlo George learnt to see things in a way most people never will.

The term “still frame” refers to a single image taken from a movie sequence. Although none of the images on show were actual still frames from any movie, they were informed by many years of studying images formed by traditional film movie cameras in the time it takes the camera to get up to its operating speed of 24 frames per second. These images are usually distorted and blurred and consequently discarded as irrelevant. Laszlo has always been fascinated by such visual anomalies and has developed a unique technique of “fooling” a digital single lens reflex camera into capturing images it would normally not. 

This technique combined with his love of light and colour resulted in an exhibition of enigmatic beauty as yet unseen in contemporary digital photography. -  Noel Hodnett 

“Digital on Canvas” by Laszlo George took place between April 17 and May 16, 2008 at Hodnett Fine Art Studio Gallery,  320 – 1000 Parker Street, Vancouver, V6A 2H2, Canada.
