Jenny Okun - Photographic Compositions of Architectural Diversity
The works of American artist Jenny Okun bring together two positions of modern aesthetics – cubism and architectural photography. The image series she creates are compositions of multiple shots of the architecture of specific buildings. The photographic technique alone ensures the extraordinary nature of these remarkably abstract pictures, which combine both aesthetic design and analytical vision across the image space.
By bringing together overlapping shots of architecture on a film strip, Okun creates a continuum of piercing abstract geometric forms and surfaces. As with her illustrious role models Picasso, Braque, Gris and Leger, the image content is divided up into diverse cubist perspectives and is then transformed into pure abstraction through the medium’s transparency and powerful aesthetic. The emphasis on graphics and the dynamic combination of simple geometric forms is reminiscent of the Suprematism images. By using architecture to generate her images and give them an energetic form, Okun is following in a rich tradition of art history. It was Le Corbusier, after all, who first transformed the transparency and powerful aesthetic of cubism into modern architecture.
