Dylan Culhane PhotoGraphik Projects

My latest obsession is painted photographs — applying countless layers of spray paint to photographic prints. The process evolves spontaneously, using alternate layers of turpentine to blend the colours. I also etch lines into the print for tone and texture. In this album I’ve added scanned images of the original painted monoprints.

A selection of some new and as yet unclassified work, as well as images from my archive beneath the Aegean Sea that for some reason or another have made a new appeal to my sensibilities. Sometimes the impulse to experiment precedes any logical or ethereal rationale. Sometimes images, like vagabonds and tuaregs, just don’t have a home.
