Ted VanCleave’s abstract, architectural
photographs of Los Angeles depict a fantastical, futuristic vision of
urban landscape. Forceful lines and curves of cement soar across skies
saturated with expressionistic colors. The vertiginous angles, blocks of
solid color, and disorienting geometry create a picture space wherein
solid forms become pure abstraction. Only an occasional reference to the
surrounding environment or the colors of the natural world remind us that
this is Los Angeles, a real place, as reinterpreted by VanCleave’s
painterly vision.
