THE 3200 and Josh May

Here is a preview from THE 3200 article on Josh May:



Elements of grandiosity and removal penetrate May's large scale color photographs. In his piece titled Hong Kong 2008, white buildings intimidatingly  tower over the audience. In his two New Jersey photographs, a singular structure shrinks and remains in the distance as the foreground glistens with water. A majority of the pieces concentrate on a single piece of architecture while Compositions of city-scapes at an unidentifiable distance pepper May's work.
