Luis Mallo, photography of patterns

June 13, 2008

One of the qualities that makes images attractive to the viewer is the presence of patterns. Sometimes patterns are obvious, other times they can be inferred from the juxtaposition of different objects or subjects that convey the sense of a repetitive sequence. Visual patterns become far more interesting when they are interrupted, a visual sequence that suddenly is stopped by a different component of the image.

Looking at the work of Luis Mallo, it is very obvious that he plays with patterns and the interruption of sequences as the main visual concept in the design of his images. This is work about patterns that become the main subject of the image, well composed and very interesting.
