City Sunset

Companion image to City Sunrise

“I’ve always been attracted to the hinterland of reality.. that place close to abstraction. In this case any sense of reality is a construct.. it is realistic in the sense that aerials and masts etc are recognisable urban features but in another sense they are nothing more than scratches and scribbles that approximate to the actual objects. There is no actual place where this vista exists… although I have often seen bits of this pictures. This is the visual landscape I enjoy operating in.. recognisable to an extent but also almost entirely imagined. Its a place but not a place.. it has forms but not real forms… but you can probably say exactly the same of every work of art.

Some people think that aiming at realism is somehow truer to the subject but every photographer knows that even the most realistic depictions can be altered and made super realistic or less realistic.”

This is one of a series of pictures based on the City Sunrise pastel sketch. Click here for the next picture in the series
