Street color

When the main color of black and white became the mainstream of street shooting, he just liked to shoot ice cream colors.

George Byrne, a visual photographer, 1976 was born in Sydney, Australia and has lived in Los Angeles for 8 years. From the day I settled down, I used my understanding of modernist painting to shoot this series of works called "New Order".

Tracing back to impressionism in France, modernism pursues the style of "geometric structure and physical beauty", which is vividly reflected in George Bourne's photographic works. The building is represented by the structural relationship of blocks, supplemented by fresh colors. In sunny summer, it feels very refreshing. Looking at his picture is like eating ice cream!

Lines and colors depict a series of overlapping shapes and staggered continuous layers, and lines are used to depict the light shadow of the city. Concise, symmetrical, rarely black and white, not shocking, but all feel quiet, which can be regarded as a comfortable visual feast, bringing people a relaxed aesthetic feeling.

The emergence of modernism has its historical reasons. With the development of modern industry, the relationship between people is becoming more and more alienated. As an individual, loneliness is reflected in this empty street view. There are few people in George Bourne's photo. Cities are built by people. What is the posture of these buildings when no one is there? Full colors can't hide the ethereal spirit, revealing a feeling of lightness and tranquility.

The street under George Bourne's lens reminds me of a passage in Fernando Pessoa's poem: "

One of countless rooms in the world, no one knows who lives in it.

They went to the secret of crowded streets,

Go to a street without any ideas,

The real way, the impossible truth;

The exact street, the unknown exact,

They carry the mysterious and existing things under the stone, and die with white hair soaked in the wall.

The fate of running on the empty road with a carriage that controls everything. "

Poets and artists understand each other. Perhaps similar poems are hidden under the street colors of these ice cream colors.
