Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by New Zealand artist Ben Cauchi entitled As above, so below. Featured in the artist's first solo exhibition in the US will be ambrotypes made using the mid-19th-century collodion process. As above, so below, will open on Thursday, October 26 and will be on view through November 25, with an opening reception for the artist on Thursday, October 26 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
A master of collodion wet-plate photography, Cauchi investigates tensions between appearance and subtleties perceived below the surface, shifting away from a black and white reality toward a stranger, greyer space between truth and untruth. Referencing the histories of painting and photography, Cauchi's ambrotypes depict sheets of rumpled paper or draped veils, transferring their detailed, three-dimensionality onto a thin, flat sheet of glass. Every fold and drape, seemingly suspended beneath the surface of the plate, creates a psychologically-infused, deceptively realistic illusion of texture and depth.
