Hama beads on perspex
68cm (H) x 85cm (W)
Untitled (power lines) asks the viewer to reflect on the increasing fragmentation between reality and virtual space.
Using abstraction and pixelation through the bead medium, the origin of the image becomes slippery. One might ask whether this is a photograph of a real landscape, a virtual one, or something altogether imagined?
It is a subtle provocation, not against the merits of technological advancement, but rather to reflect on the phsycological dislocation of the contemporary condition.
Untitled (Powerlines) - Dean De Landre
Dean De Landre is an artist interested in the intersection between nostalgia, popular culture and the natural world. Through appropriating found imagery Dean explores how we relate to nature through books, television, videos games and other cultural ephemera. Removed from their original context, his practice encourages us to contemplate imagery in a new-found way.
