“The City and The Storm” by Iwan Baan

Perry Rubenstein Gallery announces representation of Iwan Baan in his artistic practice. Baan’s work exists at a critical juncture between architectural photography and sociocultural inquiry at a time when urbanization is a driving force behind human evolution.

The City and the Storm will be a centerpiece in Perry Rubenstein Gallery’s exhibition The Way We Live that will feature captivating large-scale images of Baan’s singular vision encompassing urban, architectural and home environments. Baan’s artistic practice examines how we live and interact with architecture, focusing on the human element, which brings buildings, intersections, and public gathering places to life. Baan’s images examine the choices we make through construction and building, whether it be to section off tracts of impoverished urban sprawl with massive traffic interchanges, reintegrate purposeful gathering areas into large-scale public buildings, or live in housing that stretches the boundaries of how a community functions.
