British photographer Michael Banks creates highly contemporary, non-representational images that transform flowers and various forms into blazing comet tails and other exciting and unexpected abstractions. Banks spent 12 years as an advertising and design photographer before shifting to fine art. Defying conventional photography through what he calls “techno art,” Banks utilizes blurred, indistinct, abstract and digitized compositions that dynamically challenge the boundaries of reality. He believes that abstraction is about isolating the essence of an object, landscape or place, and working with is structural dimensions, rather than its literal representation.
