About the Item

Gentrification New York, 2015 Once again highlighting the issues of social justice and economic disparity, this image literally tells its own story. The unfortunate irony that Whitford has captured is almost dizzying, as it’s a reality that countless are facing in large cities today. Gentrification is a one-sided triumph, limiting the impoverished at the expense of making neighborhoods ‘great’. Humanity doesn’t just observe that which makes us human, but also how humans interact with one another. In as much as there are moments of genuine kindness and community, there are also moments where we purposely choose to be divisive. ​Limited edition graphic on Archival Canson Platine Fibre Rag paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. Edition size: 25 16" x 20" Print Please inquire about framing options. BIO: Zack Whitford is a documentary photographer based in Los Angeles. Before coming to California, he spent his early years in Massachusetts, as well as ‘on the road’ with his father, a member of the rock group Aerosmith.Zack’s career as a photographer began in 2011 when a hobby for the craft quickly transitioned into a full time job. His early work was purely freelance, focusing mainly on commissions and events. Eventually, he made his way into the music business where his work caught the attention of the member’s of Aerosmith and their management. Zack was reintroduced to the road-life but now as the Aerosmith’s official photographer. Artist Statement: "When I was much younger, and training to be a stage actor, my teacher said something once that has always stuck with me. He said: 'As actors, you are investigators of humanity.' I found that to be quite profound and something that rang true with me. The statement just sort of...clicked. Since I've began my life as a photographer, photographing friends & complete strangers, the parallels between the art of acting and documentary photography have been obvious as both are about being completely in the moment. Whether I am making a portrait of a monk in Bhutan or of an American rock star on the side streets of Istanbul, the one absolute parallel in what I am trying to convey to the viewer is the simple humanity found in one's eyes, body language or facial expression. That unspoken sense of 'Here we are - all in it together. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Recently, his work can be seen in Rolling Stone, Esquire, The Red Bulletin & The Hollywood Reporter.

New York #6 by Jacob Gils - American Flag
Located in Chicago, IL
New York #6 (2019) Size: 21 7/10 x 43 3/10 inches / Edition of 6 Size: 35 2/5 x 70 9/10 inches / Edition of 5 Size: 49 1/5 x 98 2/5 inches / Edition of 1 New York #6 is from the Artist's "Movement City" collection. Movement is a series which combines a strong aesthetic point of view with meticulous attention to technical detail. As the title indicates, the series is concerned with giving shape to temporal and spatial aspects inherent in all visual experience. "At first glance, these multi-point visual puzzles appear out of focus or shaken , but in fact they consist of many different and very sharp photographs of the same motif. They are carefully combined through multiple exposures, resulting in a dynamic illusion of being on-the-go. My fascination with multiple exposures began in the 1980's. In my work with analogue photography, multiple exposures would occur accidentally from time to time. Quite often, I found the visual results of these accidents to be both aesthetically fascinating and enigmatic. It is this fascination that continues to inform my work in Movement". - Jacob Gils...
