Gas Tank City Hardback
by Andrew Holmes
Hardback
- Information
Description
Andrew Holmes is renowned for his hyper-real coloured pencil drawings.
His subject matter is the fixed and mobile service infrastructure that sustains the city of Los Angeles.
The gleaming trucks, automobiles, and motorcycles that traverse the highways, and the industrial armature of storage tanks, service stations and truck stops to be found beyond the city’s edge are, for Holmes, the greatest artefacts of a society based on oil.
Over the past 50 years, he has captured scenes from this uniquely American landscape in painstaking detail.
Together they evoke a lost civilisation. Gas Tank City presents 100 of Holmes’s Los Angeles drawings, along with commentaries by art historian, Thomas E Crow, architects Mark Fisher and Cedric Price, and Holmes himself.
