Laurie - Structures and Forms
–
black and
white industrial photographs
“My photography is an accretive body
of work that captures
and collects the physical traces of exchange
between humans and their
environments. Using a formal approach to
composition and aesthetics, I
photograph the outcomes resulting from utilitarian
need, routine, compulsion,
or idleness.
Though people are largely absent
from these photos,
my work provides glimpses into ordinary human
behavior, improvisation, and
consumption through the markings and objects left
behind.” Steven Laurie

introducing
new gallery
artist Rupen ...
Rupen - Second Sight
– post minimalist painted sculpture
Rupen’s visual art is
enriched by various interests including
construction geometry, musical
ephemera, sequential and chance formations. These
ideas and others are visually
distilled and presented to the viewer with a keen
intention to redefine and/or
expand the post minimalist, monochromatic and
conceptual art practice.
It is Rupen’s intention that
his works (with their subtle changes in
colouration, form and visual random
rhythm) will encourage viewers in seeing not just
the artworks but in
comprehending their visual world with an elevated
and focused approach. This is
his most personally valued concept.
