John Riddy is known for his formally rigorous and chromatically complex photographs of monuments and places. His wry, art-referential framing of man-made and natural world phenomena – from brutalist flyovers to painterly renaissance skies – conceals myriad overlooked details. London becomes the subject of Riddy’s fascination with texture – as material facet of the everyday urban experience and a less tangible spatial state of play.
In these, the people-free scenes of an elegantly edited dérive, the city appears a visually rich sculptural playground littered with narrative possibilities.
