Richard Heeps
Control, Kowloon, Hong Kong - Conceptual Pop Art Color Photography

2016

About the Item

From Richard Heeps 2016 series The Streets of Hong Kong. ''The idea for the series was how I could represent the intrinsic nature of Hong Kong, the idea of layers and light. Through most of the work there is a linear pattern alongside a raw distressed quality with a pop of Pop Art. Captured at the Star Ferry Terminal, the reflective surface makes the character appear to float. The word 'Control' is an interesting one to have come away with as it is a great reflection of Hong Kong, politically society is very controlled but without it this great number of people would not function. Interestingly 'Control' was the 2011 Chinese character of the year. I was blind to the meaning of all the characters I photographed, it was purely aesthetic, coming away and learning about their meaning has taken the project further.'' Richard Heeps This artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss photographic print, dry-mounted to aluminium, presented in a museum board white window mount and a choice of black or white box frame. It is signed and numbered on reverse accompanied certificate of authenticity. This artwork can be purchased in bespoke sizes, just get in touch. Be sure to look at his other artworks listed on 1stDibs as they are great paired for interior design projects. Richard Heeps’ seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter – be it cool, descriptive interiors, still life, portrait or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of lens-based photography without the need for digital manipulation. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he hand prints his colour photography. His work has been exhibited in Museums and Public Galleries around England, and he has participated in Art Fairs around the world, and his work is now part of many international collections.
