About the Item

The photographer walks cities with his Leica camera capturing unexpected moments. His brand of street photography is sometimes poignant and sometimes humorous, often both. the contrast between deep black and bright white emphasize the tension in the image. This artwork is framed in minimal black metal frame with a white beveled mat. Kirill Polevoy Gun, Brooklyn, 2018 archival pigment print 30h x 40w in 76.20h x 101.60w cm “Through a black and white lens, hidden stories of everyday objects become apparent. The juxtaposition of strong light and dark shadows transform and illuminate detail that would otherwise be dismissed. Diminutive elements become rich in meaning allowing compositions to effortlessly evolve. As I attempt to uncover the hidden truth of the world around me, I am inevitably mesmerized by it and I hope you will be too.” A self-taught photographer, Kirill Polevoy, first started making photographs with an old Russian film camera "Zorki" in 2003. In 2010, he switched to the digital format and primarily works in black and white. Kirill currently resides in Chicago, where he concentrates on street photography with an occasional landscape.
