The special arctic light on the Lofoten islands in Norway inspired Johannes Bosgra to create a series of images which capture the subtle colors and atmosphere in this expressive polar landscape. “I aimed to capture the soft arctic light in the sea and air, to balance out the hardness of the mountains and fjords. The result is a series of images with a sophisticated tonal compositionâ€.
Johannes Bosgra (b. 1979, NL) has travelled to the most desolate places on earth from a young age to create his contemplative work, from Antarctica to Alaska. He is selected as GUP New Dutch Photography Talent 2020. Bosgra explores the links between classical music and visual art. He has collaborated with composers and musicians such as Philip Glass, Maarten van Veen, Ralph van Raat and Feico Deutekom to create gesamtkunstwerke of visual art and classical music. Bosgras work has been exhibited internationally in a.o. Miami, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
