George Byrne's photography captures the raw urban essence of Los Angeles in a sublime, otherworldly manner. Having arrived in the city a decade ago, the Australian artist was immediately captivated by the vast expanse of the Los Angeles skyline, mesmerized by the way the sunlight transformed it into two-dimensional, almost painterly abstractions. In his Post Truth series (2015–22), Byrne reassembles his photos of the urban landscape into striking, ascetic collages of color and geometric fragments, creating a postmodernist oasis within the metropolis. By masterfully manipulating the malleability of the photographic medium, Byrne positions his work in the space between reality and imagination. His compositions evoke associations with Miami Beach's Art Deco, the Memphis Group's designs, as well as the paintings of David Hockney or Ed Ruscha, while also tapping into the aesthetics of today's visual culture, played out on Instagram.
