Julian Faulhaber "Lowdensitypolyethylene"
Hasted Kraeutler
This event has ended.
Faulhaber’s subjects are vibrantly colored yet austere newly constructed contemporary spaces at the moment of completion. The artist finds a marriage between Modernism and Minimalism with a unique tension between reality and abstraction. At first glance the works seem like fabrications, but these are straightforward photographs of real urban settings, made with an 8” x 10” camera, lit by available but artificial light. The final print is a traditional darkroom chromogenic print.
The settings are immaculately spare and clean, saturated with color, and there is no post-production manipulation of the images. The simple geometry is hypnotic, Utopian and sometimes ominous. These discovered spaces have a biomorphic grace with curves and corners folding into one another. The solitude of Faulhaber’s subjects-- nightclubs, loading docks, shopping malls, sports arenas and apartments-- appears undisturbed and eerily hermetic.
