I’m proud to be selected as GUP New Dutch Photography Talent 2020! GUP New is a leading annual book celebrating the 100 best emerging Dutch photographers of the year, published since 2012. The book includes four pages with my series Stripes, minimalist seascapes that capture the essence of colors, forms and shapes of oceans and seas around the world that I visited to create this series. The group exhibition of GUP New presents work of the 100 talents. The book launch and exhibition opening takes place on Friday, 6 December at the Machinegebouw at Westergas, Amsterdam. GUP New is a platform bringing Dutch and Netherlands-based photography talents to the attention of galleries, museums, commercial and photography agencies, media companies and institutions that work with imagery. With its 420 pages it is the style Bible for art directors, curators, collectors, photography lovers, and fellow photographers. With a print run of 3.000 copies, GUP New makes sure the best emerging photographers around will get the attention and platform they deserve. Many thanks to GUP magazine and to the jury. The jury consists of respected professionals in the photo industry: @roy_kahmann (Kahmann Gallery/GUP), @erikvroons (GUP Magazine), @jorreboth (GUP Magazine/Haute Photographie magazine), Amelie Schüle (Unseen), Gregor Vos (Brinkhof) and @thomas_geerlings (Framework Studio). #gupnew #gup #photography #photo #phototalent #dutchphoto #dutchphotographer #newphotography #johannesbosgra #artprize #artprize2019 #contemporaryphotography #fineartphotography #contemporaryart #contemporary_art #sea #kunstenaar #seascape #photobook #photographybook #dutchphotographer #gallery #opening #exhibition #vernissage #photographyexhibition #gupmagazine #talentdevelopment #artprize2020

In the series Stripes (2018), I’m creating images that exist in the liminal space between abstraction and representation. The images are minimalist seascapes that capture the essence of colors, forms and shapes of oceans and seas around the world that I visited to create this series. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ North Sea, Texel IV, 2017 | From the series Stripes | © Johannes Bosgra | Archival pigment print on Canson Fine Art Paper | 100 x 100 cm | Edition 3 + 1 AP⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Follow me on @johannesbosgra ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #contemporaryphotography #fineartphotography #contemporaryart #johannesbosgra #visualartists #geometricart #abstract_art #abstractlandscape #stripes Inspired by #hiroshisugimoto and #gerhardrichter #contemporary_art #abstraction #seascapephotography #sea #kunstenaar #minimalart #minimalistic #instaabstract #saatchiart #seascapephotography #blueart #ocean #geometricart #tefaf #tefaf2019
