ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Successive lockdowns in Britain meant I could no longer get out to do what I normally do, which is taking images from reality, from my travels, 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, but I also added colour. I coloured the original picture, half in cool colours and half in warm, then manipulated them into the present image. Together with most of the images in the Lockdown series this one is a mix of reality and abstraction

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: ).
