Los Angeles-based Andrew Soria loves the pulsating urban landscapes of America’s big cities. In his dense and colour-intensive urban collages, the digital pop-surrealist and photographer focuses on typical architecture, iconic landmarks and small but unusual street scenes. By arranging various motifs, elements, scenes and time segments into a single tableau of simultaneity, his images make a visually overwhelming impression full of layers of semantic meaning and narrative surprises.
In order to depict the individual spirit and unique culture of a particular city or place as intensively as possible, Soria lets himself be guided by chance, wandering through streets and neighbourhoods to capture countless motifs of street photography which he collects in a thematic library. Only then does he process and arrange these individual images, like a puzzle, into a surrealist urban collage, transforming them into a lively potpourri that offers a new perspective of the urban experience. In this way, he reinvents places both spatially and motivistically, reinterpreting them on the basis of his perspectives, preferences and discoveries.
This application of the principles of street photography to the concept of material- and photo-collage turns Las Vegas into an amusement park of sophisticated advertising art. New York, meanwhile, becomes a place of densely crowded abundance, while sunny California is steam-rolled by an outsized Randy’s Donut. Each work reflects the unique penchant for striking images, narratives and compositional rhythm that informs his refreshing and daringly new take on the image as he engages in a bold exploration of its depths and boundaries.
Soria’s works have been exhibited in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Baton Rouge, San Francisco, Hong Kong and South Korea and have been reprinted in numerous publications.
