Visualizing Land: Works by Matthew Rangel

December 18, 2016 by Mariabruna Fabrizi 1 Comment

Matthew Rangel is an artist from the San Joaquin Valley in California beneath the Sierra Nevada Mountains. His digital and analogical prints communicate his thoughtful explorations of mountainous territories made through cross-country hikes, interviews and pictures. Rangel’s works reveal how human beings shape and experience landscape, showing the contrast between the segmentation of a territory in different properties and its natural features.

The practice also reflects on different ages in the relationship between art and landscape, from romanticism to land art. Rangel’s production mixes traditional cartographic features, mostly sections and plans, with annotations, photographs and other drawings to produce narrative-rich and multilayered documents.
