While Lipps’ works exist firmly within the realm of photography, his conceptual approach to date has fundamentally been that of an appropriation artist. Through a process of extracting images from diverse source materials, Lipps re-organises visual icons from our cultural history into his own compositions. His photographs engage with juxtapositions of scale, of time, and of familiarity – focusing on subjective hierarchies in order to explore ideas of context and categorisation.
For his first solo exhibition outside of the United States, Josh Lilley is delighted to present Lipps’ new HORIZON/S series in the downstairs spaces of the gallery, while three distinct works from his HOME series of 2008 will introduce his practice upstairs.
