GREAT GIFT ITEM!!!
Long recognized for his botanical still lifes in black and white, Ron van Dongen recently began photographing in color, a move that was documented in 2007 in the monograph of his work, Effusus. The new color work, and resulting book, were met with great critical acclaim. To celebrate, the artist selected his favorite images which are now available in the form of his 2008 Ron van Dongen Wall Calendar.
Ron van Dongen was born in Judibana, Venezuela and raised in Warmond, The Netherlands. He studied health science and biology at the Nederlandse Leraren Opleiding in Delft, and photography at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Ron van Dongen’s work has been the subject of eight monographs, and is widely exhibited and collected throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. His work has been featured in such publications as Provacateur, Foto Nederland, Martha Stewart Living, and Bloom.
Working in a traditional manner by growing almost all of the plants and flowers he photographs, van Dongen works at home in California in his daylight studio, focusing on the essence of the particular plant. Whilst detail is always present, van Dongen always manages to achieve an ‘aura’ which lifts the image beyond the simple photograph.
