Artist's
Biography
Paul Kozal
works in two distinct areas: toned and hand-painted
black-and-white silver gelatin and silver
and palladium prints. His subject matter is
almost entirely the landscape of California
and the Southwest. He chooses to make photographs
no larger than 5 x 7 inches, creating highly
detailed and delicately rendered images, selectively
toning with sepia to create a warm, rich quality.
He is also known for his work with hand-coloring,
a technique that began with the daguerreotype
in the 1840’s. While the painted colors seldom
mirror reality, they can enhance the imagery
and even evoke a period. His latest work was
taken at the Sea Ranch near Gualala, CA, and
displays his ability to expressively capture
organic forms within nature. |
