Kepes first UK solo exhibition

György Kepes (1906-2001) was an educator, designer and ground breaking photographer.  An exhibition of his work will be opening in March at the Tate Liverpool and will be the first time that a solo exhibition of his work has been shown in the UK.

The exhibition is part of the Surreal Landscapes season that explores how the works of three very different artists are interconnected by common themes and objects that create a sense of the surreal.

Kepes was interested in science and this was used to good effect in the creation of his photograms.  These were created by placing objects on light sensitive paper and exposing them to light.  Kepes then used a range of objects including glass and prisms to create his artwork.
