NEW YORK.- Perry Rubenstein Gallery 23rd Street is pleased to present Amir Zaki: Spring through Winter. Based in Los Angeles, Zaki renders southern California suburban landscapes and architecture as fantastical and impossible architectonic structures though his photographic works. Spring Through Winter presents his investigations into the entropy of architecture in a suite of photographs centered around exteriors of homes designed by Richard Neutra that have been cantilevered to impossible angles, overhead shots of swimming pools, and interior fireplaces. While committed to the depiction of the mundane and pedestrian, the work is subversive and disorienting, pushing the limits of photographic realism. Zaki's work transforms architecture into relics of an ineffectual world: His subjects being these modernist California homes that have been refaced and restructured due to multiple earthquakes, renovations, or redecoration; the artist's interventions become sculpturally dynamic, dramatic, and engaging.

This exhibition is Zaki's first solo exhibition in New York, although he has shown extensively in group shows around the United States in Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York, and has also been featured in the prestigious "Art Statements" section of Art Basel Miami Beach. In addition, a Spring Through Winter is currently on view at the MAK Cener in Los Angeles until February 20. Zaki is a professor of photography at The University of California, Riverside.
