Richard Heeps
Motel Desert Shores III, Salton Sea, California - American Color Photography

2003

About the Item

Motel Desert Shores, from Richard Heeps Salton Sea series. This picture has the a vibe of a Southern California American road trip, the colours are so seductive, the palm trees create a desert oasis amongst mid 20th Century architecture. The light is so clear, which is unusual in a desert and is due to a recent rainfall. The angle of the photograph gives it a cool faded Americana cinematic feel. This artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss photographic print from negative, accompanied by a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity. This artwork is available in other sizes. Be sure to look at Richard Heeps other artworks in our 1stDibs store 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.
