ASPHALTOS PHOS | Nathaniel Rackowe: presented by Varvara Roza Galleries
For his debut solo exhibition with Varvara Roza Galleries, entitled Asphaltos Phos, internationally acclaimed artist Nathaniel Rackowe presents a compelling body of work.
Across older works and new commissions, Asphaltos Phos orchestrates a structural symphony where surfaces, structures, and luminescence converge, inviting the viewer to interact with the sculptures and reconsider the overlooked textures of the urban fabric and the infrastructures that shape our daily experience.
Based on extensive research and spatial observation, Rackowe's practice continues to evolve at the intersection of art and architecture, responding to the built environment while uncovering hidden narratives beneath its fabric.
Nathaniel Rackowe is a London based artist from the UK. His often large-scale urban referenced structures, and light sculptures are designed to recreate the experience of navigating the city around us. His works are abstracted impressions of today's metropolitan experience evoked through the vicissitudes of light as it fluctuates throughout the city. Influenced by Modernism, film and video games, Rackowe uses the mass manufactured derivative products of the modernist era - glass, corrugated plastics, concrete, scaffolding, breeze blocks and strip lights - to recreate the collective experience and visual sensations of urban contemporary life, while incorporating a deeply personal emotional response to flowing through built space.
Opening hours:
