Description
ANDRZEJ DRAGAN (Poland, 1978). "Allegory on the thruth ", 2006. Photograph. Edition of 7 Size: 90 x 90 cm; 107 X 106 cm (frame) Andrzej Dragan is a famous Polish photographer, specialised in portraits, who has managed to create a school with his peculiar style. He perfectly integrates photography with an original digital treatment and with an amazing dramatic effect. He has created a school and many variants of his style can be found, becoming known as the "Dragan effect" or "Draganised effect". With a haunting style he is strongly influenced by the surreal, dreamlike and thematic quality of David Lynch's films. Dragan, who began making art in 2003, is credited with the creation and proliferation of the "Dragan Effect", a post-production technique that extracts fine details, such as pores and wrinkles, to create a hyper-realistic, almost three-dimensional appearance and skew the viewer's perception of faces and reality.
