George Byrne: SYNTHETICA
through July 14, 2024
“Starting from medium format film photographs taken with his Pentax 67 camera, Byrne’s process is one of addition, subtraction, and collage, revealing a new image with the vivid clarity of modernist painting and transforming everyday landscapes and surfaces into painterly abstractions. In Synthetica, glimpses of Los Angeles’ urbanity are hinted at and intertwined with snapshots of epic landscapes and Americana from Byrne’s road trips across the country. Natural and man-made, pieces of Daytona Beach to Death Valley, Yellowstone National Park to Miami’s Cuban quarter are amalgamated into dreamscapes, often decentralized with no discernible location. ”
