Product description
New York Unique Copy (1/1). Artist: Jonathan Leih Execution: print on Concreo (lightweight concrete. The idea behind this is that the buildings are partially returned to their original material in the form of a print. Leih makes what you would call Strange Cityscapes. Do not expect beautifully stylized facades and vistas from him. Capturing a church or a water feature on film for a romanticizing postcard effect is absolutely out of the question. His artist motto is not for nothing 'Nothing is what it seems'. He prefers to turn the world upside down, never takes anything too seriously and approaches everything with a wink. Several years ago he created a special series of cityscapes under the title Robots. Photographs of world cities such as London, Paris and Amsterdam were composed by him into a new, special unity. The result: a fearsome, science fiction-like figure that literally overwhelms the viewer. You stand rooted to the ground, wondering, what is going on here? Leih has recreated the city into a monumental, mechanical giant. Shocking and frightening at first, but on closer inspection engaging and endearing. What immediately stands out is the monumentality of the work: its size ( 75 * 125 ) and the fact that it involves buildings. You can photograph a visit to a city and then make a traditional photo album out of it, or you tackle it the way Leih does. Architecturally interesting buildings, some of which are immediately recognized, have been used to evoke another image: a robot or a transformer. In the constituent parts, you immediately recognize some familiar buildings. A city put down as a mechanism in the form of a quest. Work is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
