THOMAS JORION
Thomas Jorion's latest work is a series of Monolithes, concrete blocks on which the artist prints views of industrial cities. The 1976-born French artist, known for creating singular, timeless landscapes in natural light, has learned to make concrete casts which, due to the iron support inside, drip rust onto often damaged edges. This brutal material responds to the vision of great cities in ruins, and also recalls the artist's beginnings, when he traveled the world to eternalize colonial buildings, once chic and noble but now abandoned and returned to nature, or this construction of a nuclear power plant that was never completed and left to decay today.
