Bowling Alley by Chris Frazer Smith

Bowling Alley, 40" x 53" C-Type Matt Print, edition of 25; 20" x 24" C-Type Matt Print, edition of 25.

The piece is a great compositional image, which uses perspective and the subject matter to make a piece with lines intersect in a brilliantly visually intriguing fashion.

This image feels very alien, as we associate the scene with liveliness and families and friends enjoying the evening, and yet there is no sign of life, only bowling alleys copied and pasted one after the other under artificial lights.
