CHROME DYLAN GRAVES | JAN. 6 - FEB. 6, 2022
Brandt-Roberts Galleries is delighted to unveil a new series by artist Dylan Graves. Titled CHROME, this feature presents ten chromogenic prints illustrating a contemporary critique on society's romanticization of the muses, Liberty & Justice. The pieces showcase the strength, tenacity, and beauty that Liberty & Justice personify, while also criticizing how contemporary society simply romanticizes these personifications without actually upholding their values.
Chromogenic prints, also known as C-prints or C-type prints, are photographic prints made from a color negative, transparency, or in Dylan's case, a digital image, and developed using a chromogenic process. Dylan begins by photographing a model in the studio and then altering and enhancing the digital image. The final digital image is printed, composed of three gelatin layers containing archival cyan, magenta, and yellow dyes on archival paper. Together, these dyes produce a full-color image.
Included in Dylan's feature are two NFTs that accompany the above c-prints. While the jury's still out on the longevity of NFTs, what we do know is that they are trending to make big waves in music, art, and the metaverse this year. An NFT is a non-fungible token that is unique and can't be replaced. They are part of a blockchain, a form of digital ledger, to provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership.
