Pink & Blue Wall - 4 Sizes
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
"Photographed in central Copenhagen, this image is based on the façade of the Palads Teatret, an iconic and much-debated building currently under threat of redevelopment. It’s always particularly interesting to capture buildings like this, ones that may not survive, but can be preserved photographically. The building’s bold colours and geometric lines lent themselves naturally to the kind of flat, constructed surface I like to explore." - 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.
