ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Series "studio nature": Monochrome compositions with old trees – such as oak, beech or lime tree. Thomas Finkler has always been fascinated by the structures and textures when viewing the details of ancient trees. The trunks, branches and the bark – marked by wind, weather and the four seasons through the decades or even centuries. The artworks present the solitaire, the single old tree, as the artist´s personal vision in fine art black & white photography – visualizing the beauty and transience in nature.
