After his fascinating and thoughtful talk to us last years about how the world of art influences photography, Tony Bramley returns to talk about his abstract work inspired by the Russian avant-garde movement of Suprematism.

Suprematism was a highly geometric style of early 20th-century non-objective abstract painting, ignoring the familiar appearance of objects, developed by the artist Kazimir Malevich (1879-1935).

Tony’s images are derived from the visual geometry within a single photographic image and this non-objective approach leaves only the essence of the original image. The final images are very abstract, highly geometric, closer to painted or printed art than photography and takes photography close to what Malevich termed “zero degree”.

This could provide you with some inspiration for the up-and-coming Geometry showcase evening.
