Urban Edit

12.03b

Urban edit is art in the tradition of art. It is a continuing project.

Landscape painters traditionally paint landscapes in their idealized form. Following that lead, the modern landscape is painted (in this case photographed pre painting) and edited into an idealized version of itself. Through the simple act of covering (often through a color mask of the CMYK range), the new landscape reveals impact and relief, man and nature and often the patterns of both. It is a diagrammatic abstraction fused with the long tradition of fine art, resulting in something unexpected, and often rather nice.
