Miami Pastels 2018 AOP Gold Awarded

From Martin Brents 2019 AOP Gold awarded Miami Pastels series.  Archival giclee printed onto Hahnemuhle Photorag to ensure maximum colour saturation the prints are available as an open A3 borderless edition and A2 edition set in a border of only 25 prints and supplied with an official certificate of authenticity.

To honour the buildings as they once were, Brent incorporates indicators of contemporary life in his photographs of Miami South Beach's Art Deco district.

The photographer explains, "The images are my reaction to seeing the buildings as individual survivors of the era". He describes how he found the district run down and cracking at the edges. With Miami's changing reputation, these buildings memorialise a bygone era. The district contains 950 historic buildings in the Art Deco, Mediterranean Revival and Miami Modern style. The distinct pastel colours are emphasised by Martin giving the works a timeless quality and a feel of Art Deco illustrations and publications of the time.
