Asher Liftin – Blow Up

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

Liftin's practice is interested in our contemporary relationship with images and the effect they have on our mind, as bearers of information and concepts, even complex ones. The artist focuses on the synthesis of visual stimuli coming from different photographic sources and from great cinema authors such as Antonioni, to whom the title of the exhibition refers. The references also refer to the history of art and its most characteristic themes, such as portraits, landscapes and still life’s. In his work these themes are presented without the typical hierarchies imposed by aesthetic canons, but are generated from a contemporary language, which, especially through the lenses of cinema, has re-established a democratic balance between heterogeneous figures and objects.
