ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I’m pulling at the heartstrings with the neurons of the mind. I hope. The main influences on my work are: Plato, the Golden Ratio, Mark Rothko, Piet Mondrian, Picasso. Succesive lockdowns in Briltain meant I could no longer get out to do what I normally do, which is taking images from reality and transforming them into a Platonic, ideal version. However, once stuck at home I had to focus on my immediate surroundings: rooms, garden, ceilings, floors, tables, bookcases, etc. When I felt I had more or less exhausted those sources of images, I went back to photos I had taken in pre-pandemic times. As I usually have in recent years, I transformed the images to be symmetrical and straight, but I also added colour. This is a handless clock atop a railway station in Britain.

Christopher Cristóbal Newberry Retana
United Kingdom
He has an obsessive interest in disentangling truth from "alternative truth" in the ‘post-truth’world. Christopher Cristóbal was born in Mexico City on 15.11.51 – a palindrome. He travelled to Europe on a one-way air ticket, hitchhiking for several months and winding up in London He has directed documentaries and educational television programmes and worked as a professional photographer. He is author of two books on architecture and sociall history: "Look Up! Winchester" and "Look Up! Salisbury". He has come to regard himself as an image creator, using the camera to record reality and transforming it into Platonic views. His images are impossible – however much some may resemble reality (see his essay, "True Colours" at his website: ).
