ARTHUR S. AUBRY at the Gitterman Gallery, NY until 1st August

Exhibition Description:

Arthur S. Aubry (b. 1960) has work resident in numerous institutional collections, including the Microsoft Art Collection.

This exhibition consists of recent contemporary color photographs shot in and around the Pacific Northwest. His works are both expressions of abstraction and documents of a transformed reality. Aubry has combined the modernist tradition of geometric abstraction with a sense of 19th century exploration, engaging in the discovery of hidden subjects.

Description:

These recent works are tight abstract compositions omitting a horizon and forming strong and stark abstract compositions. Aubry challenges our perception of scale and our ability to identify something that exists. Even though these subjects may have come to a grinding halt long ago, Aubry's photographs suggest a new life for these objects.

Aubry's detailed studies urge us to look closer and to seek out the beauty that lies obscured all around us. Under the guidance of his precise eye these hidden worlds are revealed to us in such vivid detail that the old machinery appears almost palpable.
