Colour-Shifted Architecture

A painter’s eye turns the built world into planes of colour — frontal, unpeopled, reduced. Notes on where these images begin.

Jan Madeus

Architecture, seen as colour

Jan Madeus is a Berlin-based fine art photographer working at the edge of architecture and abstraction. In the series Fremde Fassaden, ordinary façades are lifted out of their function: colour becomes surface, and the surface becomes an image. Frontal, unpeopled and reduced, each photograph turns a familiar wall into a second reality — at once recognisable and strange. The work has been recognised internationally, including a Silver at the 1839 Awards in the Conceptual category. Prints are produced as signed, numbered limited editions on Hahnemühle fine art paper, made for collectors, curators and spaces that reward a long, quiet look.
