Daniel Rich: Magic Mountain

Daniel Rich marks a major turning point in his career by using his own photographs as the foundation for his canvases for the very first time. At the Miles McEnery Gallery, the artist translates a singular perception of the urban environment, viewed not merely as a backdrop but as a portal to the unknown. He moves away from simple documentary representation to deliver an authentic experience of the metropolis. His compositions, of surgical precision, transform familiar facades into mysterious thresholds, highlighting the intimate connection between the observer and architecture. By relying on his own snapshots, Rich infuses his landscapes with new subjectivity, capturing the precise moment when concrete becomes poetry. It is a privileged opportunity to apprehend public space through a gaze that fuses geometric rigor and an ethereal vision, transforming each painting into a genuine window open onto the imagination.
