Christopher Page: Fading Light in The Picture Gallery - Hardcover

Christopher Page Fading Light in the Picture Gallery

Zustand: New. The bilingual catalogue features a comprehensive text by James Bridle presenting a wide context for Page's art delving into roots of modernism and minimalist art and Renaissance perspective, flickering between the fifteenth and the twentieth centuries. The text is accompanied by Nazli Erdemirel's photographs of works and installation views. Fading Light in the Picture Galleryis a layered meditation upon painting, images, and artifice. Page's illusionistic paintings are not faithful representations of objects from life. They are paintings that represent phenomena implicitly, representations of representationsthe sheen in Page's mirrors is more like a Photoshop effect than any actual reflective surface; the shadows are composed by the artist with the aid of a computer, not observed from the light in his studio. Hence, his work reflects on the mediation of our experience, how the world today feels at one remove from us. How might we locate ourselves in a world that feels so intangible, so unreal? And if we cannot dispense entirely with illusions, how at least might we dream up better ones? With the world beyond our facades becoming ever more tumultuous, the question is a burning one.
