巴拉望 拉根

Neal Oshima is an award-winning and highly respected name in Asian photography. His works range from fine art, abstract explorations, urban documentation to panoramic landscapes, and have been included in major private and corporate collections. Lagen, Palawan (Lot 2616) is an example of Oshima's superb rendering of a monochromatic landscape shot on analog film. Breathtaking in its chiaroscuro shading, Oshima's masterful handling can be seen through the stunning clarity of natural light against a receding, misty background. The texture of the sheer drop of the cliff face juxtaposes with the tiny boat floating upon a calm, mirror-like sea; showcasing the majestic beauty of the island and the humans existing in harmony with it. Oshima has a particular affinity for Palawan and has composed a series of captivating works centering around its exquisite scenery. Photography aficionados and lovers of environmental images will recognise the contributions Oshima has made towards preserving the natural beauty of this untamed landscape.
