Bruno David is pleased to present AEROGLYPHS: De-code | Re-code, an exhibition by Dubai-based artist Jonathan Gainer. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Aeroglyphs presents a suite of large-format wall works that approach the city as a writing _system. Each picture originates as real, drone-sourced photography gathered through rigorous aviation protocols. From this material, Jonathan Gainer composes masked and blended photography constructions that stage the built environment as a set of ‘cityglyphs’ – signs through which architecture signals emotion while encoding movement, ambiance, and belief. The chain of production remains strictly photographic; no AI or CGI is used. The installation premieres new works from the Cityglyphs: De-code | Re-code arc, situating the series within ongoing debates on the urban sublime, image ethics, and the status of photography amid proliferating synthetic imagery. In Aeroglyphs, authorship is a discipline of capture and edit: the pictures hold to the real while proposing other ways of reading it. Read more at Bruno David Gallery
