Downes is one of these people, like Keith Rowe, who's hitting his prime at a later age than most. He's a real workaholic, returning to the same locations at the same time of day for months on end. If you want to dig deeper, the Sanford Schwartz monograph is excellent.Otie Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597062404464564882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-82465826470247457222008-04-08T01:35:00.000-04:002008-04-08T01:35:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Otie Wheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597062404464564882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-68026560020406430662008-04-05T15:38:00.000-04:002008-04-05T15:38:00.000-04:00He's not an artist that I had known previously but...He's not an artist that I had known previously but having had a bit of a look around online the past couple of days I like what I see. I find his interiors particularly compelling. There is one "untenanted Space in the world trade centre - winter sun, 1997" that is hard to view without being poignantly aware of what has susequently happened to the space, but is such an extraordinary image. It is the care and attention to the mundane that imbues it with lyricism.<BR/><BR/>Looks like there has just been an exhibition of his work, unfortunately the gallery website is only showing very, very small pictures.lolabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673137047219723402noreply@blogger.com
