Interview at “The Eye of Photography”

 

Last month during Miami Art Week 2021, The Selects Gallery had the privileged opportunity to chat to Dutch photographer Bastiaan Woudt at his solo show presented with Jackson Fine Art Gallery at Art Miami fair. We have been following the work of this photographer, who despite no formal training, has developed his photographic expertise in just ten short years and was exhibited Musee du Louvre in 2015 and Fotographiska in 2016 and 2018. Inspired by photography from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and the works of fashion photography masters such as Man Ray, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, Woudt’s ‘monochrome minimalism’ creates an immediately recognizable and personal visual style. He focuses on elegant and restrained forms that almost become abstract through extreme contrasts of black and white monochromes and highly stylized definition.

We spoke to Bastiaan about his personal style and vision, his new retrospective book ‘Rhythm,’ and his spectacular expedition to mountains of Nepal.

Artist in Residence, Concervatorium Hotel

 

The Conservatorium Hotel has invited me as 'artist in residence' to surprise hotel guests with my Fine Art photography.

For the occasion, a Royal Duplex Suite of 71 m2 was transformed into a veritable Bastiaan Woudt photo gallery. The suite with an elegant, contemporary design with natural colors and dark wooden floors, lends itself as the ideal base to showcase my fine Art photography. Guests can observe the works of art spread over two floors and at the same time enjoy beautiful views over the streets of Amsterdam.

Solo Show, Rhythm | Bildhalle Amsterdam

 

Bildhalle is still presenting my solo show ‘Rhythm’. due to the enormous success and demand, the show has been extended to the end of February

As the rhythm of everyday life was stripped away during the pandemic, I was determined to find it back creatively and visually. This has resulted in a series of 30 works, which were photographed in 2020 and 2021. The majority of the works from ‘Rhythm' have never been seen before!

‘Rhythm’ the exhibition is part of a bigger celebration, as earlier this month I launched a namesake book. ‘Rhythm’ the book is an assemblage of commissioned work and work from my private archive from the past decade. The book is a self-reflective document showcasing my creative evolution encapsulated within 504 pages.

After starting my career as a professional photographer 10 years ago, one of my biggest dreams of releasing a big collector’s book has become reality. "Rhythm" is an assemblage of commissioned work and work from my private archive. The book is a self-reflective document that I’m proud to say - was published by 1605 Publishers, my own publishing house. For me, the process of selecting, post-producing and revisiting 10 years of such personal work has been a cathartic experience during the global pandemic. My creative evolution, who I am today and where I’m headed as a photographer has now been encapsulated within exactly 500 pages.

The rhythm of the book is dictated by the correlation between the image you see and the one consecutively. It is not determined by series, purely selected by how one photo ‘speaks’ to the other. "Rhythm" is a personal journey through my own body of work that brings up the highlights of my career: projects that I’ve accomplished and people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting.
