GEORGE CHAKRAVARTHI FOR THE ROYAL SHAKESPEARE EXHIBITION

The stunning result of a 2 year project working with the artist and the RSC to create 13 Art-Lite pieces - the largest being 1850mm x 2044mm and weighing 80kg. Each duratran print was calibrated with the lightsource to ensure that the final image matched the artist's vision when illuminated and not illuminated.

 

The exhibition features photographs of Chakravarthi himself assuming the role of thirteen of Shakespeare's most doomed characters. The images are strongly dramatic: he dressed himself in costumes from the RSC then added layers of detail: "I tried to avoid being too theatrical because the theatre is in the costume, the visual texture and the colour"
