Andy Lock, Sunlit Uplands

 
 

A certain surreal sensibility, generally evident in such defamiliarised images is even more explicitly present in many of Eric De Maré’s architectural studies: photographs exemplified by De Maré’s images of fishermen’s huts in Hastings or The Esplanade, in Brighton.

It was De Maré’s work, the painting of Georgio de Chirico and depictions of postwar redevelopment that I had in mind as I began to make Sunlit Uplands.
