Visionary art is art that claims to transcend the physical world and portray a wider vision of awareness including spiritual or mystical themes, or is based in such experiences.
Almost every photographer talks about the magic moment when they see their first photograph appearing in the darkroom on a piece of paper. My fascination has always been of the analogue photographic negative. Actually, 2/3 of all my work is inverted photography. All the shadows become their opposite, bright white light, a glow from inside as if we can see energy. The highlights and bright parts in the image become black, trusting us to remember what information they once held. The two have switched purposes and new rules apply in this surreal world. The Image of what it was is no longer important but what it has become. In my work, I think alot about all the information our eyes can't perceive, yet also our minds. For instance, neon operates outside the visible color spectrum. We can't see what it really looks like, yet it's there.
Inverted photography, digital montage.

Henrik Isaksson Garnell
The Swedish artist Henrik Isaksson Garnell is more than just a photographer. He is a talented inventor, sculptor, and art visionary. Instead of taking photographs of ordinary items found in nature, he distorts them and creates entirely new life forms. Working like a composer, he searches for irritating mistakes that can bring his art to a certain tune or noise, repeating itself in such a way that it creates music.
As one views Isaksson Garnell’s work as a whole, one cannot help but notice that there is an “otherworldly” aspect to it. He is staging daydreams and nightmares, he moves between surrealism and concretism to reach his extraordinary aesthetic. His work can evoke a kind of “unruly” feeling, yet the artists’ restraint is what successfully seals each image as a masterpiece.
