Marrickville Chroma is a peek into photographer Emmanuel Angelicas’ long-term love affair with the suburb where he was raised and lives today. It is an affectionate observation of the many people and diverse communities that call inner city Marrickville home.
Angelicas is well known for his 50-year archive of moody black-and-white images, so for many, this exhibition will be a startling look at a colourful modern Marrickville. The photographs are an eclectic, confident, quirky celebration of people, much like the suburb itself.
Emmanuel Angelicas began photography at age seven and soon knew it was his true vocation. His work is collected and exhibited worldwide.
After 50 years, his photographic archive is vast. He is best known for his black-and-white artistic images of dark fantasy with their frisson of danger, but his most recent colour photographs are a quirky celebration of the people and places in his neighbourhood.
Though photographic technology has changed, Angelicas embraces film and digital cameras, and his attitude to photography has never wavered.
“Every time I shoot in Marrickville, either in my home or on the street – I am still this seven-year-old boy curious with his camera….”
