Two photographs of metallic-looking blue abstraction.Context
Anthony Pearson’s many distinct bodies of work take cues from the photographic process as a means to investigate what the artist sees as the alchemical potential of different materials. Pearson’s work often creates a delay between perceiving and understanding as viewers are confronted with a striking material disconnect: clay appears as bronze, drawings appears as photographs, and cement appears as paint. Like the photographic apparatus, Pearson explores the way changes in light affect our perception and nuance hidden potential in the materials he uses. Similar to Light and Space artists, a West Coast Minimalist movement concerned with how shape and light affected environment and perception, Pearson opposes an ethos of slow-making and rootedness.
Untitled (Color Reflection) are photographs, which have a distinctive drawn and printed quality. Experimenting with the materiality of photography, Pearson often investigates the interplay between the positive and negative, emphasizing the sculptural aspects of the medium.Acquisition
