Cool Grey Mini 25 x 25 cm

The Colours of Bornholm – Cool Grey Mini – 25 x 25 Poster

Cool as cool can be! This beautiful little montage - in its subtle colour palette of whites, greys and blacks, shot with blue – showcases the understated charms of Bornholm.

A modern PhotoArt montage of Bornholm, capturing its beauty in cooler shades – an alternative to the more-often-seen vibrant greens, blues and yellows of the sunshine island in summer. 

Immerse yourself in the different elements of the PhotoArt:

• Mandy Stacey’s central large “hero shot” called “PURE AS SNOW” is the stunning winter image of the biggest and most visited of the 4 white churches, Østerlars Church covered in snow with dramatic blue tree shadows on its sunlit whitewashed walls.
• 12 individual “Colour Samples” that capture a small slice of Bornholm life so very coolly including some well-known sites: Snogebæk’s smokery chimneys, the classic old Dutch windmill Myreagre Mølle; the granite cliffs of Randkløve; Svanen “ship sculpture” and central Bornholm’s big attraction NaturBornholm.
• And some of the pretty detail that Bornholm has to offer: traditional houses, beautiful beaches and the wonders of nature outside the summer season.
• Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt process that deconstructs landscapes into Colour Samples “redefining colour” – a slice of real life in all its 3D glory being so much better at representing that colour than a man-made colour chart.
• The little stories about each picture. Sometimes informative, sometimes inspiring, they’ll tell you where they were taken and why. Sent as a print-out with the poster.

The different white, grey and black coloured images – some subtle, some bold - all come together in a harmonious composition, evoking the timeless beauty of Bornholm, the little Danish island in the middle of the Baltic Sea.

FACTFILE:

• The Cool Grey Mini is an edit of Mandy Stacey’s PhotoArt Series “The Colours of Bornholm: In All Four Seasons” which is on display in her Gallery “THE HOUSE OF MANY COLOURS” in Allinge.
• It is taken from the Colour Palettes for each season, part of the 12-part Series, where the famous Bornholm artist Oluf Høst (1884-1966) plays an inspirational role in the artworks, with their parallel colour palettes for each season.
• This is what she has to say about the original exhibition artwork:

“I fell in love with Bornholm in the summer of 2022. It was easy. The vibrant colours, the breath-taking beauty of the nature, the ageless charm of the place. And then I discovered the famous artist Oluf Høst’s paintings of Bornholm, capturing the same scenes in the same bright colours, and it inspired me to create a PhotoArt series celebrating the colours of Bornholm in all four seasons.”

• Her interest in Oluf Høst was rewarded with an exhibition in The Oluf Høst Museum in 2023 using her PhotoArt to tell the fascinating story of the artist’s son Ole W. Høst who tragically died in WW2.
• Mandy Stacey is an English artist now living in Sandvig with her Danish husband and business partner Curt Stavis. As well as creating her PhotoArt, they both have a company Bornholm365 to develop business and tourism on the island all year round.
