Peter Ydeen: Easton Nights curated by Camilla Boemio

About

The solo show features a selection of works of Peter Ydeen’s Easton Nights series, at AOC F58 Galleria Bruno Lisi curated by Camilla Boemio. Ydeen has been photographing the Easton, Pennsylvania area since 2015. He takes inspiration from the work of noted American photographer George Tice, who captured images of American life and landscape.

Ydeen explores the Easton area at night, discovering the ethereal presence of contrasts and colors. As if lighting a classical still life or stage set, Ydeen takes advantage of the lights in the city which highlight his subjects. Bathed in the pink light emitted by the sodium vapor streetlights, Easton becomes a silent city lit in unreal color.

Peter Ydeen is a photographer based in Easton, Pennsylvania. He works within the now-established tenants of Urban Landscape Photography, which celebrates the complexity and beauty of the mundane world. As his work progresses, it takes on a romantic quality. The seemingly mundane scenes he captures develop ethereal qualities. Ydeen’s work takes inspiration from the poetics of George Tice, the playful lyricism of Paul Klee, the eccentric energy of Charles Burchfield, and the romantic settings of E.T.A. Hoffman tales. In addition to Easton Nights, he has completed series that include Waiting for Palms, shot in Egypt and Morocco, Valley Days, a series of daylight scenes of the Lehigh Valley, and Valley Days Roundels, a subset of Valley Days completed in a round format.

Camilla Boemio is an internationally published author, curator, and member of the AICA (International Art Critics). In August 2018; she took part in the VVM at Tate Exchange, a section of Tate Liverpool.
