Our friends at BLDGBLOG recently pointed us to the work of photographer Barry Underwood, an artist currently showing at The Johansson Projects gallery in Oakland. According to the release for Earth Engines, which is up through January 9th, “Barry Underwood’s surreal staged photographs, intermingling issues of contemporary painting, cinema and land art, surveil landscapes of the impossible. Just as earth and electricity are the elementary particles from which energy takes shape, Underwood fuses authenticity and artifice to nurture nature into flashpoints of wonderment.” More images after the jump.
