Anderson & Low
27 September 2007 through 3 November 2007
Light & Sie is proud to present a new series of large format abstract photographs by the British duo of Jonathan Anderson and Edwin Low. The exhibition is titled “Chrysalis,” and represents a brand new direction for the pair. Referencing nature, mathematics, color theory, world cultures, art history, modernism and their own previous works, Anderson & Low have created a groundbreaking new project that is both contemporary and timeless. Embracing technology, but never overwhelmed by it, these new color images show the limitless imaginings of these two artists’ minds. The boundaries of their earlier works have become bridges to the next aesthetic stage of development, as elements from those images are distorted, transformed, translated, repeated, kaleidoscoped, re-worked and re-colored. One photograph becomes another, propelling it forward to feed into structural lines of form, which adhere together seamlessly.
Anderson & Low’s new body of work is a radical artistic metamorphosis from their earlier works based on architecture. Primarily instinctual and emotional, the images and ideas have still been honed, worked, re-worked and fashioned with a series of rational principles – yet for all this rigor they remain more instinctual than constructed. The combination of composition and clarity of feeling in Anderson & Low’s work gives each image from Chrysalis a full-bodied presence, which undeniably crosses both fine art and historical boundaries with verve, and there is an unmistakable musicality to these works. The poetic, oblique and sometimes referential titles add to the feeling that these works come from a different space, an alternative world, one into which the viewer is pulled with inexorable power and delight. The boundaries between photography and other visual arts have been completely shattered.
