What if, Abandoned Building Art.

Georges Rousse (born 1947 in Paris) is a French photographer.

"Rousse's work, from the 1990s to today, generally appears at first glance to be photos of desolate or abandoned spaces (buildings, rooms, parking garages or streetscapes) often on their way to the wrecking ball, on which the artist has superimposed precise geometrical shapes or squiggly graffiti."

 

Relating to our current project in which we are looking at decorating abandoned and unsightly areas of Leeds city centre, these photos are a perfect example of truely bringing beauty into an area that wouldn't otherwise be looked at twice. This artwork also becomes relevant to a visual language session a few weeks back focusing on anamorphism.
