Richard Heeps
Algiers Apartments, Las Vegas - Mid-Century American Architecture Photograph

2001

About the Item

Algiers Motel Apartments, photograph from Richard Heeps' Dream in Color series. This visually arresting artwork captures the essence of a sunbathed, mid-century modern apartment structure, evoking a secluded and tranquil suburban oasis. The composition is sharply executed, with the golden hour light splendidly illuminating the building’s facade, casting crisp shadows and warm hues. The angular, streamlined architecture, featuring a cantilevered second floor with sleek metal railing and a stairway that ascends elegantly to the upper level, encapsulates a style that is both timeless and nostalgic. Distinctive elements such as the pastel blue trimming along the roofline and balcony railings, juxtaposed with the cream-colored walls, create a pleasing visual contrast. The vivid red accent at the base of the building draws the eye and provides added depth to the piece. To the left, a lone palm tree and varied green foliage contribute a touch of natural elegance, further enhancing the idyllic, almost cinematic atmosphere. Noteworthy is the sky depicted in the background, its azure expanse dotted with delicate clouds, which adds a serene and expansive quality to the composition. The artist's meticulous attention to light and perspective results in a piece that is not only a stunning architectural study but also a narrative tableau, inviting the viewer to imagine the lives and stories contained within the walls of this evocative dwelling. This artwork is a testament to the timeless allure of mid-century modern architecture, captured with precision and an evocative warmth. This artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss photographic print, dry-mounted to aluminium, it is presented in a museum board white window mount and a choice of black or white box frame fitted with anti-reflective UV70% glass. It is signed and numbered on reverse and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Handmade to order. This artwork is available in other sizes and pairs well with Richard Heeps' other artworks in our 1stdibs store. 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. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he makes his master prints. 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.
