Gelatin Silver Print

Gelatin Silver PrintA silver gelatin print is a type of photographic print made using the silver process. In this process, photographic materials such as black and white films and printing papers are coated with a light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts suspended in gelatin. This emulsion is applied to a support, which could be flexible plastic, glass, resin-coated paper, or baryta paper. The materials are light-sensitive and remain stable under normal storage conditions, making them ideal for long-term preservation.

Each photograph stands on its own but also contributes to a larger spirit that informs the body's overarching narrative.
- Michael Dweck

As a visual artist and photographer, Michael Dweck has received widespread acclaim for his sensitive approach to culture and societal differences and subsequent engagement with the visual world around him. Dweck initially enjoyed success as a creative director before turning to full-time photography; among his most notable subjects is the naked female form, alongside architecture and landscape. The End: Montauk, N.Y is arguably his most recognised narrative series of photographs; the series depicts the surfing subculture and old fishing community of Montauk and features several nude portraits – Dweck had been visiting Montauk since his teenaged years, and predicting the change that ever-increasing modernity brings, he wanted to capture it as it was and stated: ‘I wanted that collection of images to freeze Montauk.’ Asides from this body of work, Dweck also received recognition for Habana Libre, a series that depicts the privileged life of the bustling art-world of Cuba.

What is Environmental Art?

Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
