Mary Block

The Night Sky - Aluminum Mounted Glossy Color Photo with Bright Green Tree

2022

With Midwestern resources at her disposal, artist Mary Block explores the beauty surrounding her. Here, Block uses a Red Bud tree which is about to burst into a vibrant showy pink. To enhance the tree's natural beauty, the artist painstakingly adjusts each pixel to achieve a depth, brightness and clarity not found in nature alone. This piece is framed in a simple black frame measuring 32 x 47 x 1.75 inches.

“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...
