Reuben Wu Art

British, b. 1975

Reuben Wu was born in Liverpool, England, in 1975. He trained in Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University and received his Master of Science from University of Liverpool in 1998, initially working as an industrial designer, before venturing into photography in the early 2000s.

Today Wu is considered a leading artist in the digital art space, a multidisciplinary visionary utilizing photography and the concept of time and space to explore the intersection of technology, nature and human perception.

The ongoing projects Lux Noctis and Aeroglyphs depict landscapes unbound by time and space, influenced by ideas of planetary exploration, classic chiaroscuro painting and science fiction.

With a background in visual arts and music, Wu's work transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly blending the realms of photography and conceptual art. Through his camera lens, landscapes are transformed into surreal backdrops challenging our notions of perception and reality.

Informed by longtime experimentation with advanced photographic techniques, drones and nocturnal light-painting, Wu’s photographs capture ethereal scenes of profound beauty often going unnoticed in the natural world.

Wu's work is a testament to the awe-inspiring power of nature and the potential of an artistic vision. Each photograph is a journey into the unknown, inviting viewers to contemplate their place within the vastness of the cosmos. With a keen eye for composition and a deep appreciation for the sublime, Reuben Wu creates photographs that are both visually stunning and conceptually mesmerizing.

Reuben Wu's work is held in private and public collections worldwide - including the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the MoMA.

Wu currently lives in Chicago and continues to travel to remote parts of the world for artistic inspiration.

'Towards your Heart' Large scale Photo. Triptych Ocean, Sea, Blue, Beach Cottage
By Sophia Milligan
Located in Penzance, GB
'Towards Your Heart' Limited edition archival photographic triptych. Unframed, hand signed and numbered (Edition number 3 of 25) _________________ It is not the size Nor power from which you fly But towards your heart The wild Atlantic explodes in raw abandon, given scale in this daring dance by the graceful flight of the sea bird. Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in chaos and harmony; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work in a balancing act of control and freedom; of discipline and guidance, whilst simultaneously relinquishing all authority and throwing the odds to the winds, to chance encounters and the unexpected'. Photographic triptych: each of three parts measuring 30 x 20 inches. Each printing is bespoke to order and can be printed on a single paper 30 x 60 inches. Please contact me for further information, or send a message with your order. Limited edition of 25 Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® paper, one of the most beautiful and high quality art papers available. The luxurious matt finish provides a reflection free image that is rich in detail, depth and tone. Hand signed, titled and numbered to the lower right corner on an approximately 1 inch white border. Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity featuring a signature and edition number. Other sizes available * Please note that images of the artwork in situ and framed are an indication of how the piece can look, and in the context of other artworks. The artwork is being sold unframed. ________________________________ About The Artist Sophia Milligan...
