Rego Sport Tuning - 4 Sizes
Location: Glendale, California
"This piece is based on an old auto repair shop in Glendale, not far from where I live in Los Angeles, a building I’d been watching for years. I was lucky to photograph it just before it was repainted a very dark green. For this image, I also chose to fold in visual motifs from earlier works - a recurring approach within the Synthetica series, where elements are reworked and carried forward to build new connections across the pictures." - George Byrne
Byrne creates large scale photographs that depict architectural surfaces and landscapes as painterly abstractions. Borrowing from the clean, vivid clarity of modernist painting, he also references the New Topographics photography movement via a subject matter firmly entrenched in the urban everyday.
All works by the artist are printed with a slim white photo-paper border and framed in white with plexiglass.
