Biology and Cosmology: Below the Visible [Keith Cottingham](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/keith-cottingham) Feb 12 – Mar 27, 2016 ![Cottingham Hero2](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/cottingham-hero2.jpg) Keith Cottingham Condensation, 2016 Description For his fourth exhibition at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, Keith Cottingham will exhibit fourteen large-scale photographic prints that touch on spatially complex imagery from the realms of biology and cosmology. Minimal compositions include spheres, crystals, and other seemingly recognizable shapes floating against black backgrounds, as well as intersecting forms which convey a prismatic sense of space. Hyper-realistic lighting activates the subjects, and bold colors, narrow depth of field, and time-lapse motion create emotional undertones. Suggestions of condensation and liquid represent form and spirit infusing out of emptiness. These futuristic renderings, operating outside human scale, ask the question: are we inside living cells or floating amongst the stars?
