Bau-Xi Gallery is pleased to present Pattern Recognition, a group exhibition featuring works by Bratsa Bonifacho, Kim Keever, Katrin Korfmann, George Byrne and Chris Shepherd, with a special focus on New York-based artist Jeffrey Milstein's aerial photographs.

Painter Bratsa Bonifacho uses order and dis-order in his geometric grids to explore sign processes and modes of visual communication, while photographers George Byrne and Katrin Korfmann both utilize composite imagery to subvert the mimetic nature of the photo medium and to act as an intervention with its relation to a distinct time and space.

Toronto-based photographer Chris Shepherd formulates sculptural assemblages which realize a coterminous hybridity as both construction material and art object. Kim Keever incorporates the element of chance in his large scale works by pouring paints into water to create fluid, evocative compositions.

This curated selection of meticulously constructed and highly detailed artworks reflect the ways in which the photographic lens or painter’s brush activates their respective subject matter. Milstein abstracts familiar landmarks and built environments through the immediacy of flattened depths and the remove of heightened perspective, to prompt a reduction of form into geometric designs of shapes and graphic patterns of pure color.

JEFFREY MILSTEIN is an acclaimed American photographer who has won numerous awards for his aircraft photography and mesmerizing aerial landscapes.

Milstein’s photographs have been published in Men’s Vogue, TIME Magazine, European Photography, American Photo, Eyemazing, Die Zeit, Wired, PDN, Esquire and Conde Nast Portfolio. His acclaimed series “Aircraft: The Jet as Art” was exhibited in a year-long solo show at the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC from November 2011 – November 2012. Born in Los Angeles, where he frequently returns to shoot at the International Airport, Milstein makes his home in Woodstock, NY.
