When the Pierre Cordier show opened recently at the HackelBury Gallery in London, I blogged it and posted a group of pictures from among my many favorites in Cordier's work. What I neglected to do was give a sense of the space the pictures were shown in, so here it is, an installation view of the main room as you enter.
If there is such a thing as a warm formalism, this must be it: impeccable framing, tasteful lighting, a procession of compact, powerful pictures drawing the eye toward the early evening sky above Launceston Place, an outline of clay chimneypots against deepening blue. No bombast here, no cries, no shouts.
