An abstract impressionist landscape inspired by the red sandy western deserts of the American United States, like Utah, Texas or the Grand Canyon with their rocky barren plains and rugged cliffs and canyons. With a stormy sky and a streak of lightning.
created from the natural markings and distressed graffiti on an urban concrete wall in red ochre reminiscent of traditional primitive tribal rock art paintings of native peoples.
This is part of my Bunker series, created from photographing details of WW2 defence concrete bunkers and gun emplacements from around Britain's coast.
These abstract landscapes are created naturally over time from the weathering and ageing of the concrete and rust from bolts and nails embedded in the walls, which creates an image like an ancient piece of primitive rock art.
In this series I have tried to show that even simple, neglected, often over looked, mundane and in this case ugly and terrible places have beauty hidden within them.
These photos have not been manipulated in any way, apart from light photo editing (cropping and exposure adjustment) and as such can be seen in situ around Britain's coastline.
Professionally printed on Hahnemühle archival quality paper using the latest archival quality inks.
