Recently a new exhibition by Russian photographer Sergey Maltsev was on show in The Central House of Artists, Moscow Russia.
The exhibition called Images Of India closed on January 10th 2016 featured more than 40 works, all printed by Melange-S on Innova Art paper.
India evokes all kinds of images which are embodied in art by each artist. Sergey Maltsev uses a unique theme: architecture of India, both traditional and colonial. The architecture of the area emphasizes the mixing of cultures and times. Sometimes it seems that the photograph has been taken many years ago… at others it seems like it could have been just yesterday. Through this series of photographs, Sergey Maltsev has captured a snap shot of time. The combinations of textures in India are stunningly highlighted in various parts of the country, from the Observatory in Jaipur to the streets of Mumbai. People on the streets are natural and seem snatched from their daily activities completely at random. None of the images in the exhibition were staged. The photographer simply took long walks through the streets of towns and captured the moments of ordinary life.
Melange-S, the Innova print center in Russia, produced the prints for the exhibition; watch the video below for a quick tour of the show.
“India is able to surprise anyone with its bright colors, even the most discerning traveler, no country has caused in consequence I have so many antithetical feelings and emotions! For my new exhibition, I needed to pick up the print media that best transmits local coloring of India.
About 2 years ago I became acquainted with the materials for printing Innova Art. And since then, regularly use Fine Art paper by Innova for printing my photos. In the test lab of company Melange-S we did tests on different papers with a 12-color large format printer Canon ImagePROGRAF iPF9400. The best results we achieved with paper Innova FinePrint® White Gloss (F-type) 300gsm (IFA09) as the print color and black-and-white images. “
