Untitled (RedBlueYellowTokyo)  By Bart Benschop    Courtesy of Galerie Helder

Laura:  I like the works of Bart Benschop because it is a wonderful mix of abstract and figurative. I like the changing perspective in that if you glimpse at the work, you see some sort of pattern but if you take a closer look you see recognisable images, as if behind a veil.

About the artist: Bart Benschop (1965, Amsterdam) creates his photographs while driving at speed along highways. After thorough inspection of the roadside area, he shoots the film in double or triple exposures, producing a rhythm of transparent frames. These fragments of layered landscapes deliver a cinematographic experience in your mind. They bring about faintly recollected memories of glimpses in the near past. His photographs make you wander in the process of perception.

‘Orange and Blue’ #5, 2013 by Lorenzo Vitturi courtesy of Foam Editions

Emily: "Lorenzo Vitturi forces the viewer to look at their environment in a different way. This photo is part of a series where the artist visually represents ‘his’ London near the district of Dalston. Using a variety of found objects from the Dalston multicultural market, he gives a totally new perspective on his experience of the neighbourhood. The photograph encourages me to also look at my own neighbourhood and environment in a different way, thinking about which colours and objects would best represent it”.

About the artist:  Lorenzo Vitturi (b. 1980, Italy) is a photographer living and working between London, Milan and Venice. After graduating in photography and graphic design at the European Design Institute in Rome he received a scholarship at Fabrica, Italy. He started out as a cinema set-painter in the movie industry in Rome and has brought this experience into his photographic projects, which revolve around site-specific installations using space, light and matter.

Windows – VII Tilburg by Jan Dibbets Courtesy of Livingstone Gallery 

Stefanie: “It is Dibbets’ approach to photography that continues to fascinate me. An established and internationally acclaimed artist, Jan Dibbets (born 1941) is known for his photography series like ‘Cupolas’, ‘Colour Studies’ and ‘Windows’. In this work, bright daylight from outside is juxtaposed with an interior devoid of light. This striking contrast is connected (or arguably broken) by the only gradient light quality that the image contains. It is this soft and subtle, almost golden, light resting in the circular window ledge that gives the image a somewhat transcendental sense. This is strengthened by the low viewpoint as well as the angle that the artist chose, whilst the brickwork brings the work back to the now. The interplay between the geometric forms and lines – i.e. the circular profile of the window and the grid formed by the delicate glazing beads and wall behind, though equally the square shape of the work itself – keeps me drawn into this picture”.

About the artist: Dutch artist Jan Dibbets (1941) is one of the most distinguished and influential figures in the international art world. Dibbets’ work explores questions relating to light, the mechanisms of perception, perspective and space.
