A PRIVATE INVENTARISATION BY PETER SPAANS

For Peter Spaans as an individual, the city has been an essential and continuing motif for his work. The contours and specific shapes of big city architecture are refined into taut compositions of shifting, translucent color planes, or fashioned into hard edged, resolutely minimal shapes photographs focus on the quotidian aspects of the city. Shot straight on, circulatory systems like railway storage yards, city bridges, utilitarian buildings, store fronts, and undistinguished apartment buildings are not exactly picturesque. In mixed media, photography, video, painting, sculpture, text, installations, silcscreen, etching, books, magazines. Since 1978. All works by Peter Spaans.
