UMMA Projects: Walead Beshty May 9, 2009

Knowing no limits when it comes to his art, L.A. based artist Walead Beshty has explored the boundaries between politics and aesthetics. His monumentally-scaled photograms, created by folding large sheets of unexposed photo paper into three-dimensional forms and exposing them to variously-colored lights, produce geometric fields in which areas of sumptuous color are interwoven with passages of intense luminosity. This man is an artistic genius.
