NEW MONOGRAPH | May 2024
Hart’s new series FRAGILE is published by Dewi Lewis Publishing in May.
FRAGILE (2020-24) is a contemplative reflection on nature made on monthly visits to the same locale in the English countryside. The aesthetic is rooted in the notion of a heightened awareness of the natural world, of both a physical engagement and spiritual connection to the land to evoke an abstract, ethereal sensibility. Whilst becoming absorbed in this instinctual, visceral approach, Hart has become acutely aware of both the physical beauty and delicate vulnerability of these natural forms.
FRAGILE is Hart’s fifth monograph

PAUL HART STUDIO | February 2023
New Series
During the winter Paul Hart has been making new work of the British landscape concentrating on an area of land close to his home in East Anglia (UK). This series continues to examine the complex and fragile interrelation between humanity and nature, our occupation and our stewardship of the land. By combining a documentary approach with a personal aesthetic, a strangely beautiful environment is revealed in a landscape not usually given much attention. Hart employs the black and white analogue process and his practice involves all aspects of the photographic process from negative to print.
