About the Item

Untitled 6 (2013) (Abstract photography) C Print - Unframed For this color photograph, Caldicott focused on simple geometric shapes, clean lines, using splendid color to define space and structure, and achieving a superb resolution. This is edition 1 of 5. Richard Caldicott is an English artist who explores abstract photography and creates abstract compositions on paper. He lives and works in London. As an interdisciplinary artist, Caldicott comes across materials and techniques, including drawing, photography, and sculpture. His works on paper, made with ballpoint pen and inkjet printing, reveal a bare sophistication whether it be with minimal drawings or with buoyant and colourful forms. His work has a relationship with architectural and musical structures, formalism and geometry, referring to modernist painters, designers and architects like Donald Judd, Max Bill, Barnett Newman and Ellsworth Kelly. “I like artists who do other stuff. With Judd, I like his architecture, his furniture, his printmaking. It’s the same with Max Bill, somebody who crossed over into different fields, with furniture and architecture” Repetition is an important element of the artist's work, this strategy echoes the art making of the Minimalism period. So is series, “Caldicott is an archetypal adopter of a ‘serial attitude’ “ as per writer Derek Horton’s quote. His works are featured in various international and corporate collections including Sir Elton John collection, Goldman Sachs, and Clarks UK.
