konto studio’s montage series uses contemporary still life compositions

 

 

 

‘still life’ painting is a useful method in which to study objects, light, color and one’s perception towards space. the ‘montage’ series builds upon the traditional art form in a contemporary fashion, using spatial pieces within a framed composition.

the project by konto studio uses a number of objects which each contain a repeated shape. the series looks at the relationship between different components using a palette of pastel tones and playful architectural arrangements. ‘montage’ draws upon the cubist movement that abstracts and depicts ones perception of a particular viewpoint. structural elements including striped poles and grid patterns set the composition of each frame, whilst mirrored surfaces distort and reflect the existing space.
