In his most recent series Adaptations , Niko Luoma draws upon art history to find the subjects for his reconstructions, subjectively rendering the essence of artworks such as Vincent van Gogh’s sunflowers , Pablo Picasso’s Weeping Woman or David Hockney’s splashes . For our special edition, Luoma has chosen the famous 1968 “Lying Figure with Hypodermic Syringe” by Francis Bacon. In a fascinating visual game, he slowly builds up his image through multiple exposures, using cut-out templates as a means for blocking and redirecting light through a series of standard color lenses. His approach is not to duplicate the original but to interpret it in the spirit of how it was conceived.
