Michael Eastman "Urban Luminosity"
Barry Friedman Ltd.
This event has ended.
Urban Luminosity exemplifies architectonic alchemy. Reflections on metallic walls, the flattened perspective of a hotel’s rotunda, undulating waves of a Frank Gehry building and dramatic façade lighting, encourage us to examine our relationship with our man-made environs. The union between common elements of ‘the city’ with sensuous surfaces, lights, and colors, combine to form a ‘skin’ in which we find ourselves encapsulated. This commonality is illustrated in modern and contemporary architecture found in cities as diverse as: Shanghai, Osaka, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Seattle, St. Louis, and New York.
Taken across Asia and North America over the past 4 years, Eastman explains, these images “engage architectural abstraction with luminance to capture the way light is reflected off or diffused through urban surfaces.”
