Ted VanCleave is a Los Angeles based fine art photographer and artist. His highly stylized work photographic images bring an exciting and radical new approach to the art of photography. Over the years he has received wide recognition and garnered numerous honors and distinctions. His artwork was selected by Laura Rosenstock, Curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York to appear in the Faber Birren Color Award Show and he was awarded Top National Honors from the prestigious National Watercolor Society. Featured interviews of VanCleave have received a worldwide audience on CNN and the Hollywood Sign Trust, which oversees the maintenance and security of the world famous Hollywood sign has added his series of images to their website.
"Ted VanCleave has captured the urban landscape of Los Angeles by focusing on the city’s unique style of modern and postmodern industrial architecture. His stunning photographs of the city’s architecture extend beyond representation and become brilliant, almost surreal, abstracts that juxtapose vibrant color and the geometry of the city’s landscape. VanCleave’s color palette expertly plays with photography’s unique ability to capture the subtleties in light and shadow, adding a richness and narrative depth to his primarily abstract form". The Metro Gallery, Los Angeles, California.
The works on this page are selected from different series photographed in Los Angeles.
