| book description |

George Byrneâ€™s photography depicts the gritty urbanism of Los Angeles in sublime otherworldliness. Arriving a decade ago, the Australian artist was immediately enthralled by the sprawling cityscape of L.A., mesmerised by the way the sunlight transformed it, into two-dimensional, almost painterly abstractions. In his Post Truth series (2015â€“22), Byrne reassembles his photos of the urban landscape into striking, ascetic collages of colour and geometric fragments, creating a postmodernist oasis in the metropolis. By masterfully harnessing the malleability of the photographic medium, the photographer situates his work in the space between real and imagined. Byrneâ€™s compositions evoke associations with Miami Beachâ€™s Art Deco, the Memphis Groupâ€™s designs, as well as the painting of David Hockney or Ed Ruscha, and at the same time tap into the aesthetics of todayâ€™s visual culture played out on Instagram.
