About the Item
Using the facades of red and blue buildings, Kadzinski recreates the stars and stripes of the American flag. Beige stripes that are cracking like paint go between the rows of red facades, and the white windows on blue facades become the flags' stars. Assemblage photography, 46 x 86 in. Custom sizes are available within this edition.
French photographic artist, Jean Philippe Kadzinski currently resides in New York, where he produces rhythmic depictions of the opportune city. Born in a small village in Lorraine, the artist spent his youth in a dissimilar landscape. Categorized by verdant farmland and industrial manufacturing, the nature-rich town nurtured an exploratory boyhood spent roaming forests and hills.
Prior to the commencement of his personal photographic endeavors, Kadzinksi meticulously compounded traits of his pending artistry. While in front of camera, he gained insights into composing images through his own intuitive movements and lighting direction. From this proficiency bloomed an immersed familiarity with subject matter and its role. As he now sculpts visuals from an external standpoint, the experience has gifted a perceptively dualistic quality in his relationship to the camera. Such union of skills and understandings heavily influence Jean Philippe Kadzinski’s aesthetic, which delivers vibrantly active representations of his explored realities. Conceptually, this is evident when a childhood Introspective appreciation of nature intersects with the interactions in a newfound bustling world outside of himself. The metropolitan environment encourages reflection also on our relatively minuscule, yet substantial place in society, a viewpoint magnified when he granted his own childhood dream of moving to New York City.
Here, his ability to infuse life into the otherwise predictable through diligence and intuitive navigation is paralleled in his creative process. On the subject of this artistic conversion, Kadzinski states “The camera is both sensitive and adaptable. With this tool, I could transform banality into beauty and excitement- something I always found myself desiring from a young age”
To do so in the framework of the urban metropolis, he observantly paces vast distances through the boroughs, rendering seemingly mundane aspects of city life into optically tantalizing collages. In the instance of his recent work, visual profundity takes the camouflaged form of fire escapes. In a singular context, each is an emblem of everyday life, as well as the ever growing multitude of properties in the area’s composition. The works urge us to look at a more comprehensive image, while ceasing to omit subtler aspects from our attention span. The final product embodies a universal notion that the unity and inclusion of these details are crucial in formulating the cityscape’s energy. Moreover, its further implications are open to interpretation, as the imagery provides a thriving space for varied experiential insight, much like the depicted city itself.

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...
