VinoGlyphs. The ethereal and intriguing series of vine tendrils - photographed in Central Italy - expresses artist's long-standing interest in objects of found beauty.
Adam Victor’s inaugural UK exhibition of photographs is an ideal progression of his work as a writer, exploring the power of sign and symbol in image.
This ethereal and intriguing series of vine tendrils – photographed in Central Italy – expresses his long-standing interest in objects of found beauty.
“For all the starkness of their imagery, Adam Victor’s VinoGlyphs call to mind the long history of the representation of viticulture in art, but they strongly resist confinement to the genre. They have something in common with precedents as disparate as the signature of Elizabeth I, Tinguely’s stark black machines in motion and the Writing Pieces of Anthony Caro, each of which, though stationary, moves in and out of legibility as a specific word as the viewer’s eye moves around it.” – Richard Morphet, curator and art critic.
Adam Victor is a writer, journalist, translator and photographer who divides his time between the UK, the US and Italy. He has been taking and thinking about photographs since family friend Eve Arnold gave him an old Kiev camera when he was twelve years old.
