Brooklyn-based artist Ian Strange returns to create an installation in Australia after his work at the Lyon HouseMuseum. The work of light LIGHT INTERSECTION has now a sequel, in fact St because Strange has recently presented a new project in the neighborhood of Surrey Hills in Sydney, entitled LIGHT INTERSECTION II.
The graffiti-covered townhouse is crossed by neon light beams that create perspective intersections. It is precisely on perspective that the artist wants to reflect with LIGHT INTERSECTION II, making visible a pattern of lines and a hidden geometric structure that governs every work of art.
In Sidney, Ian Strange has created an abstract dialogue on architecture, which starts from the rigor of perspective and is completed by the strong poetic and scenographic sense of the house.
With this project the artist intends to draw attention also to the meaning of the new metropolitan areas, and it is not by chance that he chose a residential suburb of a large metropolis. The intention is to overturn the concept of home as a place to live in,’denouncing at the same time the increase in prices and gentrification of areas born as popular and now revalued. The lines of light are wounds in the concrete, arrows of an urban martyrdom.
