The jury chaired by
Roberto Casalbuoni has awarded the Chianti Star Festival 2015 prize to Sumio Inoue, the Japanese photographer known for his series "Silenzioso":
shots of monuments and cities, printed on handmade rice paper. With an
elaborate process that takes several weeks, the black and white images are absorbed
by the rice paper and produce an infinite gradation of nuances and shadows.
Sumio Inoue’s works, which always stimulate the viewer’s imagination, can be
admired worldwide.
The 2015 edition of
the Festival closed successfully with a large number of visitors recorded and
many positive comments about all the art exhibited.
Congratulations and
thanks to Sumio and to all the artists who participated. Studio Abba looks forward
to organising the 2016 edition of the Chianti Star Festival!
