Victor Ribas
Victor Ribas is a
professional artist, director, member of both the International and the Russian
Unions of Journalists. He works with the new visuality in photographic and
video techniques.
He invented the technique of fractal abstract
photography, which is now known as the “Ribas method”: photography is carried
out without lighting, and object’s shape is revealed by a laser beam moving in the
artist’s hands.
The artist obtains images by strictly
photographic methods, without computer processing.
The innovative photographic works by Viktor Ribas
express extreme sensations of modern life, that cannot be described with previously
known techniques of painting, drawing and photography.
Being the signs of our time, they are readily acquired
for collections of private and public-owned museums, become bases of academic
research in modern philosophy and art studies, and influence artwork of other
photographers and artists in Russia
and abroad.
The first exhibition of works done in this
technique took place in 2008
in Karlsruhe (Germany).
