Andre Plessel

I was watching the video on Art daily about Andre Plessel and he was talking about making his images with a fluid, which I thought was liquid emulsion, but he mentions the use of a same size negative. Does anyone know what he was using as his photographic medium?

WOW

I had the opportunity to meet him at the opening, he is very charming and quite an interesting character. The pictures were very well received and you really need to see them in person to fully appreciate them. The lips with colorization process are really stunning. I also asked him about the process and realized these pieces are done with negatives which are made to the actual size of the picture. They are made more similarly to the platinum process rather than the silver gelatin of his black and whites. The ones with writing on them he actually hand paints which really adds more rarity to this collection. I'm unsure of the process which colorizes them. Maybe call the gallery?
