'WOMAN'
An exhibition of arresting and powerful portraits
'WOMAN' by Ivan Berg consists of 30 portraits of women from the age of 16 through to 82. All are photographed using ‘Rembrandt Lighting’* and a signature style of a plain black background with the camera lens set precisely at the eye level of the subject. The result is a vibrant, engaging and powerful portrait.
“Ivan Berg’s portraits are arresting because they are shot without the artifice usually used to portray women,” comments artist Alyson Hunter. “It is refreshing to have the female portrait move into the reality of women's lives, and occupy a space that generally only male portraits inhabit.”
‘WOMAN’ is Ivan Berg's first exhibition as a portrait photographer after a long and varied career in the media.
*Rembrandt Lighting is dramatic portrait lighting derived from that commonly used by the Dutch master painter, and a term allegedly coined by pioneer film-maker Cecil B DeMille who first used the technique in a film in1915.
'WOMAN' is on show in Hampstead Garden Suburb's Fellowship House gallery throughout March 2019.
Fellowship House, 136a Willifield Way, London NW11 6YD
Viewing times are Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 2:30 to 4:00pm and on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30pm.
