Artist: Richard Caldicott

ATLAS Gallery presents TABLE OF CONTENTS, an exhibition of photographs by British artist Richard Caldicott.

The exhibition showcases a compelling survey of works by Caldicott from the last 25 years, from his earliest and most well known Tupperware works to his newest work Performance Pieces, shown for the first time in London at the Gallery, after premiering at Paris Photo in November last year.

This new work marks a departure from modernist serenity towards a focus on dynamism and force, compositions that mimic the forces of explosions and fractures. Using original works of his own he manipulates them on the bed of a scanner to create random deconstructed, one might even say desecrated, images in which the results can only be seen when the scanner has created the final image. These are then printed as unique C-type photographic prints. This takes his practice to the limits of what can and cannot be justifiably termed photography.

Caldicott’s work delves into the interplay of perception, abstraction, and the material quality of images. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and inventive compositions, Caldicott invites viewers to re-examine the everyday through his lens, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary in an attempt to transcend the limitations of photo-based art.
