Abstraction has traditionally been known as a genre dedicated to speaking in terms of form, texture, and composition. This usually included an inherent negation of reality by making the familiar look unfamiliar. Abstract Expressionist painting quickly reached wide scale popularity in the 40's and 50's and today remains one of the biggest selling genres. Abstract Expressionist Photography grew alongside painting, using extreme angles and cropping, altering contrast, and often creating abstract arrangements and then photographing them. Today there is a new post modern breed of photographers who actually use abstraction to hint at a narrative or conceptual reference, leading viewers in the opposite direction than their forefathers. The Light Factory has combined the traditional and modernist black and white constructions of Carl Chiarenza and the experimental hand colored abstractions of Stan Brakhage short Films, with the new post modern aerial photographs of David Maisel's waste sites and the digital works of Susan Brenner that indirectly reference the internal environments of the body.
