‘Photography has a pure form of expression, from realism to fiction. Inevitably the photography has steadily been conquering its own position in art.
But the developments are in full swing. With current techniques you can push the boundaries and create remarkable, high-impact productions. Just take a look at today’s applications of visual montage and animation: it makes you believe you are in a different reality. Cinema – also known as cinematography – is in the forefront and invests large amounts of money in the technology. As a photographer I follow these developments rather closely, with my PhotoVisual productions and my further range of works in limited editions as results.
Common and modern applications… photography continues to fascinate!'
John de Gelder
PURCHASE & OPTIONS TO
Why a limited edition of eight?
Being a buyer you invest in a precious result, which has to stay special. Every edition therefore stays limited to at most eight copies, including differences in sizes and constructions (of materials) of the selected work. Balanced division is displayed at each of the works. The largest release is limited to only one.
A choice in different surface layers will complete the purchase journey. Poured glass epoxy or museum glass acrylate top layer, which minimises the reflections, we select the very best materials.
Format 1:1 sizes and editions - for example:
120 x 120 - 1/8
110 x 110 - 2/8 – 3/8
100 x 100 - 4/8 – 5/8
90 x 90 - 6/8 – 7/8
70 x 70 - 8/8

SELECTED WORK | BRONZE SCULPTURES
Besides photography I make bronze sculptures. It all starts with modeling figures of wax, followed by the entire process of bronze casting and finally the patina to colour the sculpture.
Owl species with their irresistible faces, kingfishers on tree trunks, a Scottish Highland Cow – animal figures are well presented. And then there are my mythological figures, like Nikè, the Greek goddess of victory and the Minotaur, who lived in the Labyrinth. From ancient Celtic cultures there is the Druid. More sculptures will be presented on this website.
