Las Vegas
2011
A chromogenic print mounted on aluminium, Oscar Tuazon's *Las Vegas* captures the stark contrasts and raw energy of its namesake city. The work's vivid color processes and industrial material support reflect Tuazon's broader interest in the intersection of built environments and human presence. The combination of photographic medium and rigid aluminium backing lends the piece a structural, almost architectural quality.

Artists in conversation
Edward Ruscha
American · b. 1937
Ruscha shares Tuazon's fascination with the American urban and suburban landscape, particularly the stark built environments of the American West. His photographic and print works similarly capture the raw, impersonal energy of cities like Los Angeles with a conceptual and documentary sensibility.

Andreas Gursky
German · b. 1955

Gursky produces large scale chromogenic prints mounted on aluminum that examine the intersection of human presence and constructed environments with a cool, structural aesthetic. His work shares the industrial material quality and architectural framing evident in Tuazon's Las Vegas.

Lewis Baltz
American · b. 1945

Baltz documented the industrial and suburban built environments of the American West with a stark, neutral toned photographic approach that closely parallels Tuazon's interest in urban landscapes and architectural subjects. His work carries the same conceptual rigor and industrial mood present in Las Vegas.
