Dictator (Dominique Brunzlik / 2011)

Dictator received in July 2010 an «Honorable Mention» from moca New York and is currently given to the chancellery Winkow & Brockstedt in Leipzig.

The image was created in early 2011 (mainly caused by the war in Libya and the ruler Gaddafi) with mixed techniques (based on photography of ice structures, digitally edited, and collaged), and was realized as original by the renowned art print Merngershausen editions in Munich. Handmade and special new procedures were only used for three pictures (the other two images are «reflection » and «wordlessness») to be presented at the art exhibition during Berlin Gallery Weekend 2011. This is a signed original, pigment printing on Hahnemuhle Baryt paper and (without coversheet or similar) directly mounted on aluminum dibond (ready for immediate suspension by rear gallery frame).
