Andy Lock

Informations about the artist

Andy Lock is an artist working with photography. Aesthetically his work is diverse: encompassing both conventional and innovative photographic processes and materials. Andy’s photography is often preoccupied with the revelatory potential of exhausted and otherwise disregarded things and places. His practice takes these seemingly insignificant subjects, and works with found light to conjour images whose drama and complexity belies their apparent stillness and simplicity.
In these photographs the unregarded corners of work areas and empty houses are populated by crudely made figures collected from garage sales, flea markets and antique malls.
The viewer is presented with a eerie of scenes reminiscent of childhood myth making and play. In these images the worn edge of a table become a horizon line and a painted board stands in for a turbulent sky.
Fernando Montiel Klint was born in 1978 in Mexico, where he continues to live and work. He studied photography at the Escuela Activa de Fotografia and the Centro de la Imagen, Mexico. He is represented in mexico by the Galeria Fernando Pradilla, and in New York by the CTS Gallery.
