About the Item

Motel Desert Shores, photograph from Richard Heeps Salton Sea series. This picture has the a vibe of a Southern California American road trip, the colours are so seductive, the palm trees create a desert oasis amongst mid 20th Century architecture. The light is so clear, which is unusual in a desert and is due to a recent rainfall. The angle of the photograph gives it a cool faded Americana cinematic feel. This artwork is a limited edition of 25 gloss photographic print from negative, dry-mounted to aluminium, presented in a museum board white window mount and a choice of black or white box frame fitted with anti-reflective UV70% glass. Handmade to order. This artwork is available in other sizes and pairs well with Richard Heeps' other artworks you can find in our 1stdibs store. Richard Heeps’ seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter – be it cool, descriptive interiors, still life, portrait or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of lens-based photography. He runs his own darkrooms in Cambridge (UK) where he makes his master prints. His work has been exhibited in Museums and Public Galleries around England and he has participated in Art Fairs around the world and his work is now part of many international collections.
