comunicato stampa

Eleven is delighted to present Light, an exhibition of new works by photographer Rick Giles. The virtually abstract series is visually dramatically different from his former work Hitch (2001) and Shenandoah (2002), but it remains a response to the artist’s direct environment. This new series of works is a way for the artist to consider the landscape. Giles looks to extend our understanding of light and to explore the sheer beauty produced by the most simple and mundane occurrence, that of daylight filtering through a barn between the gaps in the sidings.

Having moved from the claustrophobic concrete labyrinth of New York City to the rural settings of Connecticut, the artist explains, I am now confronted by nature. The seasons, rather than being divided just by temperature, as they were in my mind in the city, have now more to do with the light and the land. I have become much more aware of the reflections from the colour of the landscape – the hues of the light reflected off the fall leaves, the lush green grass in the summer or the bare starkness of winter auburns. As with Hitch and Shenandoah, there is a strong biographical element in Light. The series was photographed across three seasons in the barn on the artist’s land. Each photograph embodies Giles’ relationship with the landscape and the notion of time and space in this rural environment. The images testify a personal rediscovery of the cycles of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

All the images are unique prints and have not been digitally manipulated. Rick Giles was born in England in 1969 and now lives in New Milford, Connecticut. His work has been recently exhibited in Obsessions by Stiletto at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris in 2008, alongside the work of Martin Parr and Douglas Gordon, and at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2005 and 2003.
