This page gives a rough overview of the awards and exhibitions over the past years. Please find more detailed reports in my journal.
“Cameras are like musical instruments: they only unfold their magic in the hands of a creative and skillful user. But without them, neither sounds nor images are created, proving that both are a crucial element in the creative process. And that’s why musicians and photographers alike have a special relationship with their instruments, which is reflected in the winning pictures of our competition.” (Thomas Gerwers, TIPA chairman)

End of 2017 I was invited to equip a single exhibition in my city’s town hall. Topic: my CameraSelfies series. Especially the opening day was a very nice experience with a lot of friends and spectators. After a speech held by Hennef mayor K. Pipke I had the chance to explain my works – and a small collection of vintage cameras which completed the 6 week exhibition – to interested visitors and journalists. It’s been a pleasure 🙂

J. Flynn Novotny was proud to participate in the Art Exhibition ’Unternehmer als Kunstschaffende’ at the IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg, Germany. Under the slogan Creativity as a bridge between culture and commerce 10 artists – photographers, painters and sculptors – exhibited their works from April 16th to May 14th. J. Flynn Novotny presented eight photographies in the IHK rooms, 1st floor.
For more than a year the photographers Manfred Raderschad, Ingo Teusch and J. Flynn Novotny tried to find the V in vivia – in architecture, landscapes, structures, the small and the big things in life. The result: amazing snapshots that show the V in numerous variants in everyday life scenes: exciting, funny, reflective, worth seeing.
The photo exhibition ‘V for vivia’ was introduced by major K. Pipke in the town hall on February 12th.
The ‘Meys Fabrik’ photo exhibition has been successful: on two days many visitors came to enjoy the photographs of Manfred Raderschad, Carsten Bockermann and J. F. Novotny.
The photos were presented on wooden pallets which – together with ambient sounds recordings from all over the world – increased the very special atmosphere of this exhibition. We too enjoyed this event a lot!
A small exhibition with works of J. Flynn Novotny starts in the Kur-Theater Hennef (Germany).
The Kur-Theater is one of the very early german cinemas, founded in 1925. Find out more about this historical place here: www.kurtheaterhennef.de.
