Still Light – Holograms of objects

New exhibition at Gallery 286, London

Currently viewing by appointment.

More details

When I first encountered art holography, holograms that simply recorded an artefact seemed less creative than more multilayered or abstract imagery, but I have come to appreciate the advantages of playing to the medium’s strength in recording texture and volume and with presenting the viewer with the perfect illusion of an object being right there behind the glass when your mind is telling you that it cannot really be.

For this exhibition I have selected holograms from my collection that present their subject matter in a fairly straightforward way but are made interesting by the combination of technical excellence with a choice of objects which are either works of art in themselves or visually intriguing one way or another.

An Invitation

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection website was launched in 2005 and redesigned in 2013.

The new format has scope for lots more material so I would like to invite all the holographers whose work is featured here to submit background information, stories and images to supplement those I have provided. That way we can work together to make this the best resource on holographic imaging to be found on the web.

 


In March 2025 we moved our site to a cloud-based, green web, hosting service. It is committed to the use of renewable energy and offsets more carbon emissions than it produces.

About the Collection

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection, based in London, UK, is one of the largest resources in the world for creative, display and commercial holography.

A number of touring exhibitions, containing work from the collection, have been presented in outstanding museums and galleries both within the UK and abroad. Information about new acquisitions and exhibitions is added here on a regular basis.
