Nicholas Alan Cope “San Fernando Valley” Framed Photograph

About the Item

Framed archival pigment print from Nicholas Alan Cope's inaugural book and accompanying 2014 New York solo exhibition at Mondo Cane / Patrick Parrish Gallery, “WHITEWASH”. Edition of 5 + 1AP; Two framed editions are currently available. Photo dimensions: 30” x 20”. Framed dimensions: 40” x 30”. Cope's photographs evoke a unique vision of Los Angeles and its contrasts as seen exclusively through its everyday architecture. Searching for the sublime core of the city's true nature, Cope strips away the extraneous and focuses on the sheer beauty and simplicity of the cityscape. To an outsider, the profound cultural, historical, and architectural imprint of the City of Angels can be lost amongst the unsightly sprawl of stucco, strip malls, and irrelevant adornment. While the sunlight can be unforgiving and harsh, bleaching the landscape into a pale hue, the allure, for Cope, lies in the consistency and ubiquity of the buildings combined with the severity of the light accentuating the dramatic elegance of the architecture. Whitewash utilizes the whitest whites, the blackest blacks, and the modern and stark architecture of an idealized future that never arrived to tell the visual story of LA's uniquely conflicted soul. NICHOLAS ALAN COPE was raised in Maryland and moved to Los Angeles in the early 2000s to attend the Art Center College of Design. He has since shot for a number of commercial and editorial clients while working on personal projects. Cope works in collaboration with creative director Dustin Edward Arnold on a number of his projects as well as an ongoing publication of their own creation. He has been the recipient of numerous awards as well as inclusion in PDN’s 30 in 2011. Book projects have included Whitewash (2013), Manus x Machina (2016), Rei Kawakubo/Comme Des Garçons: Art of the In-Between (2017), and Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams (2017).

Lawrence (1868-1938) After working briefly at a Chicago wagon factory in 1889, George Lawrence opened a studio for the production of crayon enlargements — large photographs, usually portraits, that have been enhanced by pastels or charcoal. Crayon enlargements were popular wall decorations in the late 1800s. In 1893, Lawrence's studio partner left Chicago permanently. Lawrence inherited the equipment and learned to develop negatives from a local photographer's apprentice. He formed the Geo. R. Lawrence Company and quickly became an innovator in the field, using the slogan "The Hitherto Impossible in Photography is Our Specialty." Lawrence designed his own large-format cameras and specialized in aerial views. He began by using ladders...
