His meditative, almost devotional sound works explore feelings
of immediacy and duration, distance and proximity, movement
and stasis.
Roderick Packe’s photographs have been exhibited internationally
and are held in many public and private collections. “…his
intensely coloured prints are created by condensing elapsing
time and movement into a single image, superimposing carefully
choreographed tracking shots into a single frame to make what
he has called still movies rather than film stills. The lush,
polymorphous manifestations of flowing colour that result
can be reminiscent of many natural phenomena of light –
dawns, sunsets, the aurora borealis, luminous mists, glimpses
of clarity through a hazy blur – bringing to mind the
painter J.M.W. Turner's suggestion, speaking of his late landscape
paintings in which gaseous colours fade into one another,
that ‘vagueness is my forte’.” Derek Horton,
from ‘Beyond Recognition’, Optic Nerve, 2003.
Présent dans nombre de galeries et expositions internationales, Roderick Packe crée des photographies enclines à la contemplation hypnotique. Rythmées par le tissage subtile de jeux de couleurs, le mouvement intense de motifs de lumière, ces œuvres se tiennent sur le fil tendu du visible et de l’invisible, du statique et du dynamique. Il transpose ce paysage mental contrasté dans une ambient à la discrétion monumentale, emprunte de mélancolie savamment dosée. Une musique à la fois irradiante et enveloppante. |
