Ion Zupcu’s Études on Glass

Photography, as it is traditionally exercised, is expected to deliver what we see in front of our eyes, with its raw, truthful reality. The abstracting of photography is one of the later and less common practices of the medium. Ion Zupcu, however, is committed to making photographs that walk the knife’s edge between abstraction and figuration.
