Desert Collage - 4 Sizes
Location: Palm Springs, California
"Photographed in Palm Springs, this image draws on the surreal geometry of the desert periphery - where architecture, shadow, and surface flatten into a visual collage. The composition plays with the tension between the built and the ephemeral: light, shadow, and time rendered as fixed elements in an artificial scene." - 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.
