Kahmann Gallery is proud to present works from Albert Watson’s newest project, ‘INK’. Watson has reimagined his own work, by incorporating and superimposing textured ink patterns on top of work he created separately. Watson delved into his own archive to find works he could reimagine and give a literal new layer of meaning by using the very special technique.
Here we see a true master in his element, incorporating different skills to create something completely unique.
Besides works from this serie, a few classic works by Watson will also be on show. This includes portraits of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Mick Jagger.
