Frozen Landforms

Frozen Landforms

Winter is a photographic series by German artist Uwe Langmann (b. 1985) that depicts sweeping topographies blanketed by clean, white expanses of snow. The works are a perfect example of form complementing subject matter. The undulating heaps of snow are captured with little other details, perpetuating the idea of coldness through blank, isolated locations. Langmann masterfully captures the land as it is submerged by the supremacy of nature; manmade icons fall victim to the powerful mounds of ice. Sheds, fences and poles protrude from the clean lines of the ground with little indication of life. Profoundly satisfying, the images invite viewers to marvel at the simplicity, devoid of intrusion from a digital, globalised world. Langmann has won many awards, most notably being named Photographer of the Year at One Eyeland Awards. He is also longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize 2019. www.uwelangmann.comwww.aestheticamagazine.com/art-prize.
