Kenro Izu｜BLUE in collotype

New York based photographer Kenro Izu (b.1949) created his BLUE series as an homage to Spanish painter Pablo Picasso’s works from the Blue Period (1901-1904) which featured works painted in shades of blue.

With a lifetime passion for the art of printmaking, Izu has developed a distinct reputation as one of the best Platinum/Palladium printmakers in the world. He printed the series by cyanotype over platinum prints, but due to the technical difficulties of the process he was only able to produce a very limited numbers of editions.

With Benrido Atelier, the series have been revitalised with the depth of the colour of blue and fine tonal gradations with the collotype process, presenting a new layer to experiencing Izu’s meditative and serene compositions.
