Untitled 1-16

by James Newton

Found surfaces photographed in close up and represented as pure abstract imagery, these urban fragments are traces of human activity which ofter go unseen or ignored as visual noise. Seen in detail as they really are reveals their textural and gestural beauty, all the more so because of they are non-industrial, non-designed and unrationalised. Taking influence from Antoni Tapies whose ‘political and rebellious attitude sought to give value to materials, objects and images traditionally despised by society.’
