Bau-Xi Gallery is pleased to present, Autumn, a collection of photographs captured over the Hudson River Valley and New York City in the richness of the season. As the gold and crimson hues of Autumn blanket the horizon, the artist takes to the skies, "a view unavailable from the ground opens up. From here you have grand vistas, yet you are close enough to see intimate detail."
Milstein takes his aerial photographs from the cockpit of light aircraft or small, agile helicopters, always flying at sunset, when the low light makes shadows longer and suffuses everything with a golden glow. From this vantage point, Milstein brings his architect’s training, and his graphic designer’s eye, to bear on the world below. His preoccupation with pattern and colour transforms even the most banal sites into works of abstract beauty.
