Hugo Garcia-Urrutia

Back in the New York Groove, Sunset painted colors, Brooklyn Bridge photography

2023

This is a beautiful contemporary photograph of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. The photograph is processed in a way that the grain of the wood eventually becomes the "canvas" and backdrop for this image. It is processed directly on Baltic birch wood using archival inks and is then sealed with a durable semi-gloss lacquer. The set is composed of 9 pieces and they are very easy to install and transport. It is a set of 25 and only 5 editions remain available. HUGO G.

Part of the “Wooden Postcards” series by husband and wife team Hugo Garcia-Urrutia & MK Semos, "Rays of City Light" is shot using cross-processed medium format film and a Holga camera. The imagery is a vibrant New York City street scene, showing an iconic yellow taxi cab and abstract orange patterns and "rays of light" emulating from the buildings. The frames are manually juxtaposed inside the camera to create “rays” emulating from the urban chaos of taxi cabs and skyscrapers. Urrutia crafts the substrate from white oak flooring, with the natural wood grain becoming an essential element of the composition. The choice of white oak, with its natural grain visible through the film overlay, reinforces a sense of history and urban grit, allowing the wood itself to become an active part of the composition.

MK SEMOS MK Semos is a Greek-American artist whose work is deeply rooted in her passion for storytelling. Raised in Dallas, Texas, her artistic journey began at the Booker T. Washington School for the Performing and Visual Arts and later at the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned degrees in photojournalism and photo illustration. It was in New York City during the vibrant 1990s that her artistic vision crystallized. Captivated by the city's energy, Semos photographed its dynamic urban landscapes and eclectic people, using her SL 66 Rolleiflex camera to capture movement and emotion. Even after three decades, she finds endless inspiration in the city’s pulse, describing it as an "endless source of inspiration." Semos’ work spans travel, portraiture, and environmental photography, with her mastery of the Holga camera earning her recognition in publications like New York Magazine, Business Traveler, and Timeout NY. Alongside her husband, Hugo Garcia Urrutia, she co-founded DeCorazon Gallery, showcasing global artists and exhibiting her own works in prestigious art fairs around the world.
