"The Empty View is the desert of the Arab nomad, the desert of revolt. The Heros are the tribal Arabs fighting for their traditional freedom, and against the machine age and its politics. Chief among the heroes, an Arab in all but birth, is Ned Gordon, an extraordinary man who has many prototypes among great British eccentrics, but who is perhaps best described as a contemporary T. E. Lawrence, a Lawrence spared his motorcycle crash."--Dust jacket.

Deze uitgave 'James Aldridge, As above so below' gaat in op de serie van 8 indrukwekkende schilderijen. Door de riante hoeveelheid detailfoto's krijgt de lezer een innige weergave van de imposante, originele kunstwerken. De teksten zijn van Mathias Ussing Seeberg, curator van het Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denemarken. De schilderstijl van de kunstenaar vormt een onvergetelijke indruk. Geïnkte washes, geometrische vormen en zacht rokerige gebieden staan recht tegenover de silhouetten, realistische vogels en gestileerde elementen. De resulterende spanning herinnert de kijker eraan dat wat men ziet niet altijd is wat het in eerste instantie lijkt. De schilderijen spreken hun eigen taal, ondanks hun referenties naar eerdere werken en dat is ook de constante ontwikkeling in de carrière van Aldridge, elk werk is door het vorige beïnvloed. Aldridge zorgt voor een balans tussen groteske en schoonheid. Hij kijkt naar de hoeveelheid informatie dat een beeld kan vasthouden voordat het verzadigingspunt wordt bereikt. Exhibition: Galerie Christian Ouwens, Rotterdam, The Netherlands (17.06. - 30.09.2017).
