Neoterics
An exhibition of ‘photo-cubism’ by Devon artist Ben Yates inspired and influenced by geometry, counter-culture, science fiction and fact, and all things Japanese. The artist photographs his subjects digitally and then applies the prints onto a structure of blocks. The resulting piece appears to change or develop as the observer moves around or toward it.
