Destruction Aesthetic

|
Harold Ancart — In soot, dust and burning, Harold Ancart finds a fragile and fugitive elegance. Often working with found media – he sets photographs of tropical beaches aflame – motifs such as palm trees and parrots recur in his work, only to be offset by the delicate restraint of his works on paper. His is a practice concerned with removal and destruction, and the spaces between objects.
