Modernity and the light we see it in is a long-standing theme in John Riddy's work ranging from the modernist architecture of 1930s Britain through to the architecture of Courbusier in Chandigarh. This exhibition of new works from the past two years consists of large scale colour photographs which depict disparate views similarly characterised by notions of progress; London’s Victorian railway arches, a tree local to Riddy’s studio newly lit with led lighting, a view across Lower Manhattan encompassing the High line, the new Whitney Museum of American Art and Ground Zero.
