Bernard A. Starkmann London, April 2025 Managing Director Starkmann Limited
The curation of works by artists Roei Greenberg and Ian Malhotra in this edition of the Starkmann MRW is a visual conversation between two friends exploring their shared interest in how landscape is experienced and communicated. Greenberg and Malhotra met at the Royal College of Art in London, where they worked alongside one another and completed their MAs in 2020. Their ongoing friendship is reflected in corresponding synergies between their practices and conceptual considerations.
This catalogue complements their two-person exhibition on view at Starkmann this Spring/Summer. Comprising additional works beyond these here, it includes new drawings by Malhotra that respond directly to Greenberg’s photographs. This collaborative pursuit underscores their cross-disciplinary artistic friendship that extends beyond formal education –fostering mutual interests, incubating ideas and enabling creative exchange.
Greenberg and Malhotra picture landscape both as an idea and as a performative space. Through the photographic discourse of Greenberg and the coded language of Malhotra’s mark making, landscape becomes a site of translation and transformation. Using different languages of communication (real or virtual), they walk through landscape to explore, encode and ultimately claim it through their own artistic systems.
In influence and metaphor, parallels can be drawn between their practices and the lenses of travel, virtual play and art historical discourse on landscape representation. The seventeenth-century-born Grand Tour, the American road trip and attendant photographic histories, the evocative pursuits of Romantic landscape painting and the digitally encoded language underlying virtual worlds are a few of the devices utilised to question our perceptions and interactions with natural environments.
Both artists create self-led exercises that respond to these references to consider ways to unthink how we are conditioned to see. Central to their practices is the exploration of one’s place relative to the landscape, positioning the viewer’s experience as one of solitary encounter. Acknowledging the utter fallibility of the task, each strive to transcend everyday life – both in their creative process and in emotions they hope to evoke in the viewer.
Greenberg’s practice, partly autobiographical, is shaped by historical narratives and his questions about the relationship between identity and landscape. He positions the experience of walking in the landscape as ideologically political, where one’s mobility within space and sense of belonging is performed through access. Journeying to landscape, often with a large format view camera, he encounters zones of inclusion and exclusion, territory markings that have embodied various systems of possession, colonisation and ownership. These can guide how the landscape is to be encountered and framed – a form of control and power.
In the slow process of image-making, Greenberg composes his scenes with near-forensic precision, carefully aligning objects and shapes in spatial relation to one another. There is an intensity to his process. Drawing a parallel to Romantic English landscape painting, at times in reference to Constable, his compositions communicate scale, expansiveness and spatial depth. They likewise recycle and critique the trope of depicting rural scenes to reflect and shape national identities.

Curatorial Essay (cont.)
Initially suggestive of something familiar or even archetypal, these detailed photographs reveal an underlying irony, informed by his perception of landscape as a site of ambiguous meaning. Rising up from the weighted ground, the sky becomes prominent in many of Greenberg’s scenes (and also in Malhotra’s), democratising views of clouds that convey a spiritual intent and emotional freedom. In all his works, there is a psychological detachment, it is not an enmeshed experience for the viewer – rather it is observational, optical and distanced.
Greenberg’s compositions suggest a previsualisation of the scene, where in diverse locales he constructs landscapes that possess an uncanny resemblance. Compositional devices echo throughout. Carefully placed fences, paths, roads and walls signal and divide the landscape. He regularly includes traces of humanity and makes interventions – modern-day Eden is spoilt, perfection sabotaged. His own ruptures, which are subtle in some works and more overt in others, subvert perceived documentary intentions, signalling ambiguity in meaning and critiquing traditional representations of landscape.
The presence of one object may be signified elsewhere. For example, a red land mine warning sign found on a fence in one scene is gestured in an upside-down McDonald’s French fries container in another. Bringing these photographs to exhibitionary form, they are possessions framed, and testaments of journeys taken, recycling the idea of the Grand Tour custom of collecting landscape paintings – touristic souvenirs that symbolised wealth and distinction.
Where the purity of sharpness is given primacy in Greenberg’s photographs, Malhotra’s prints and drawings use the staccato of Morse code to signify landscapes. Taking ownership of images appropriated from diverse source material – art historical and contemporary references of landscape, screenshots taken from video games, 3D terrain mapping and CGI – Malhotra becomes both a translator and a human printer. This is an embodied process of making, where he transforms image into language, speaking it with his hands. Line by line, he ‘writes’ the landscape, the vertical marks showing how it functions as discourse.
Each work takes Malhotra more than 100 hours to create, perhaps in contrast to the perceived ease of digital image making. Labour is transformed into a slow process of meticulous rendering of simple elements – colour, light, shapes – to evoke a simulacrum of reality, where fractures in visual information are embraced to reveal slippage in translation.
Laden with reference, each title forms the work’s compositional backbone and serves as a directorial cue, framing how to read each scene. Much like how we interpret pixels into images on a phone, the viewer bridges break between marks, piecing together meaning from visual gaps. This alludes to the symbolic and hierarchical nature of language – where (like in Greenberg’s work) meaning is relative to one’s proximity.
Malhotra uses the frame as a conceptual and compositional device to create experiences that are both familiar and transportive. As concept, it can allude to the increasingly mediated experience of life spent in virtual realms, where reality is framed through screens. Suggestive of window formats found in British postWWII housing, the frames in Malhotra’s work are part of it, communicating the artist’s own lived experience of growing up in Birmingham. In the diptychs, triptychs and quadtychs, the framing breaks the landscapes.
This creates the illusory effect of glass windowpanes with grilles disrupting a continuous read of each scene, placing the viewer inside the conceptual home, where they can metaphorically look through, beyond, or even back at the idyllic landscape that once (or never) was. This theatre of experience engenders a fantasy of travel, where one can depart the congested confines of urban England and its skyscapes to go somewhere altogether magical.
Blending diverse art historical and contemporary references, virtual worlds and personal experiences, Greenberg and Malhotra are walking along guided paths, performing the idea of landscape in their work. The constraints of their journeys are made visible and the illusion of infinite possibilities broken; the three-dimensional world is flattened, and gazes are directed. In their own vernacular, their work becomes a mediated synthesis of the landscape. These ideas are extended in the exhibition, becoming a space where imagination collides with the artists’ shared experience.

Artist’s Biography
Roei Greenberg
Roei Greenberg (b. 1985) is a London-based artist raised on a kibbutz near the Lebanese border in Israel. Working primarily with photography, he explores landscape as a complex intersection of culture, geography, and autobiography, questioning how one’s perceived connection to the land shapes identity. His work examines themes of boundaries, power, and legitimacy while engaging with histories of land ownership and exclusion, making his approach inherently socio-political.
Greenberg’s practice is characterised by meticulously detailed journeys—both personal and art-historically referential. He combines an objective aesthetic with a critical perspective, creating multi-layered photographic compositions that are visually compelling yet challenge traditional modes of landscape representation.
Walking the land becomes an act of intervention; in some cases, he introduces subtle disruptions, subverting the environment and adding a performative element that challenges conventional documentary approaches. His work emerges as a detailed conversation between photographer and place, where recurring compositional devices and structures signal deeper meanings, questioning the theatricality of identity as it is performed in and on the landscape.
Greenberg’s work has been exhibited internationally at institutions such as The Royal Academy, South London Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, Aperture Gallery, The Benaki Museum, and the Israel Museum. In 2021, he was invited by The National Gallery, London, to contribute to an event celebrating John Constable’s work. That same year, he won the Camera Clara Photo Award, leading to his first solo exhibition at Galerie Baudoin Lebon in Paris.
He has also been shortlisted for several prestigious awards, including the Prix Levallois, the Human Rights Photography Prize, the Magnum Photography Awards, Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50, and the Sony World Photography Awards. In 2019, he was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries. Greenberg earned his MA from the Royal College of Art in 2020.
‘Greenberg has developed a very idiosyncratic visual language in his work. The landscapes are seductive and almost hypnotizing, drawing the viewer under their spell. But the appearance is too good to be true, because one does not trust the conjured harmony, and an irony breaks its way in, revealing the complexity of these pictures.’ – Andreas Gursky

Artist’s Biography
Ian Malhotra
Ian Malhotra (b. 1991, Birmingham, UK) has a varied practice across drawing, printmaking, animation, sound and performance. Taking inspiration from both the historical and contemporary forms of reproductive technology used in landscape image-making, his work explores the transmission and translation of visual information.
Using self-devised systems, his drawing and printmaking work often parody digital methods of reproduction through labour intensive analogue processes. This research looks at the positioning of landscape within the history of printmaking, its place in art history and its representation of the direction of political power.
He has exhibited extensively within the UK, including group exhibitions in the Saatchi Gallery, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, South London Gallery, Unit 1 Gallery, Southwark Park Galleries, PS Mirabel and Castlefield Gallery’s New Art Spaces. He has also exhibited internationally across India, Europe and The Middle East, including his first solo exhibition at Galerie Isa in 2024.
Previous projects have included: doctoring, screen-printing and giving away hundreds of falsified free newspapers; creating animations that visually re-print systematic drawings with hidden messages; laborious large-scale copper plate etchings parodying found digital imagery; performances utilising coding and music to live-draw landscape images; and hand printed postcards anonymously sent all over the world.
He has been shortlisted for the John Ruskin Prize, the Flourish Printmaking Award and the John Purcell Prize, and his work is held in public and private collections across the world, including in the KNMA (New Delhi) and MAP (Bangalore).
Malhotra graduated with a 1st Class BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Manchester School of Art in 2014 and received the Castlefield Gallery’s Graduate Launchpad Award the same year. After continuing to work and exhibit over the next four years, he studied on the MA Print course at the Royal College of Art, graduating with Distinction in 2020.

Offers a full art historical synthesis of the rich archaeological and monumental evidence for Nero’s remarkable principate. An outsized and innovative artistic program emerges, informed by aesthetics of excess, the grotesque and learned luxury, that rivals the cultural achievements of Rome’s first emperor, Augustus and stands in stark contrast to the universally negative and disparaging accounts of Nero in ancient authors. Indeed, Neronian Rome witnessed an astonishing efflorescence in the arts, whose lasting effects still resonate.

This set of volumes will focus on the prototypical areas of language analysis, whilst not excluding those areas which, if more peripheral, have nevertheless had a considerable impact on what linguists think and do.

In his ‘Canzoniere’, Petrarch evokes the image of the ‘crystal heart’ as a metaphor for a correspondence between the inner self and external appearance.

Using this image as a heuristic tool, this work offers an investigation of Renaissance literature and portraiture.

Its content is intended to bridge the gap between the fields of New Testament studies and patristics, covering the whole period of early Christianity up to 600 CE. The BEEC aims to provide a critical review of the methods used in Early Christian Studies and to update the history of scholarship.

The Phoebe A. Hearst Expedition to Deir el-Ballas: The non-elite cemeteries of the 17th – 19th Dynasties, Volume II: Catalogues complements the analysis of the unpublished Hearst Expedition excavations (1900–1901) at Deir el-Ballas that Victoria Jensen presented in Volume I. In Volume II, Jensen provides a detailed tomb catalogue, synthesizing all available information on each tomb and its contents, and providing scale drawings of the tomb architecture and placement of objects.
The excavator, George A. Reisner, was an early adopter of photography in archaeology. The appendices in this volume present all known Hearst Expedition photographs of the tombs and their contents.

Major Reference Works (MRW) & Contemporary Art
The Starkmann ‘Major Reference Works’ bibliographies have been published continuously since the early 1990s. Their main purpose is to inform customers well in advance of new and forthcoming reference and series publications. The subject areas covered span the spectrum of all academic disciplines. Most of the titles listed are highly specialised, and appeal primarily to a select academic audience, but we also include reference works of more general interest.
As well as providing an important source of bibliographic information, we endeavour to make these bibliographies a source of inspiration and enjoyment. Our collaborations with artists aim to present the information in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing context. These projects have included a large variety of art works. Sometimes they are specially created for the bibliography, or they are drawn from the collection exhibited in our offices in London.
A key aim of featuring contemporary art is to introduce the work of emerging artists early in their careers to a wider audience. When this project first began, contemporary art was certainly not as much in the wider public consciousness at it is today. Many of the artists have been featured, at what for them, was an important point in their careers. In presenting their work to a wider audience we wish to support and encourage them on their artistic journeys.
The projects have featured artists from around the world, several of whom have gone on to become very well known. It has been, and continues to be, a great pleasure to discover new talents and to collaborate with them to create a unique and visually engaging bibliography while presenting new book information to our customers.
In addition to the printed bibliography, there are changing art images on our website. There you will also find the electronic version of ‘Major Reference Works’. We hope that you too enjoy our bibliographies. We appreciate your support and thank you for placing your orders for reference titles with Starkmann. Without your orders, comments, and feedback, none of this would be possible. Thank you!
