This months' featured exhibition is titled 'Colourful Black and White' by Yvette Depaepe
Yes, pure BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY can indeed have a "colourful" effect, even though it may not directly include colour in the traditional sense. In black and white photography, the contrast, composition, and texture can create a sense of vibrancy and dynamism that evokes the emotional intensity and richness typically associated with colour.
Essentially, BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY uses its own set of visual tools (contrast, texture, light, and composition) to create the emotional and visual impact that colour can achieve.
We invite you to explore this fine exhibition. While it's not literal colour, it's still a 'colourful" experience because of its ability to evoke feelings, depth and intensity.
This exhibition which will be exposed on our opening page / Gallery during the whole month of July 2025.

 | jordiegeatorrent PRO I deeply appreciate the conceptual alignment I share with Yvette Depaepe and feel a strong sense of identification with her approach, especially in the way she understands black and white photography as a means of representing color from a different dimension. To this perspective, I would add two elements that I consider essential to the aesthetic discourse of black and white: on the one hand, light — a fundamental component in building the image and conveying emotion — and on the other, the importance of revisiting and updating the classic Zone System within today’s digital context, as it remains a valuable tool for managing tonal range with both intention and precision. |
