Slotted on the end of Cork Street in London, Alison Jacques Gallery has a constant flow of quietly impressive artists on show. Following last month’s awesome show from Jon Pylychuck, this current exhibition from LA’s Uta Barth focuses predominantly on mounted colour photographs of flowers. The floral body of work, dubbed ‘Untitled’, has been scrupulously planned from A to Z and is spotless in a way that only photography or digital work can be. Lining the walls in perfect precision, this is an exhibition that is nothing if not clean cut. That’s not to say the images are still and stagnant. The colours offered up ensure any feelings of subdued submission are avoided by viewers. Continually bright and startling, alike much of Barth’s previous works the pieces are often hazy but somehow remain defined. They’re pleasing to the eye, a welcomed ease in the world of art without boundaries. But then again, Barth is a talent with well thought out boundaries. She is meticulous; and that’s exactly what makes this show worthwhile. Uta barth is showing at Alison Jacques Gallery, 14 Clifford Street, London, W1 from 28th April - 27th May.
