About the Item

Patterns abound in this black and white photograph by Kirill Polevoy. The stairs, the woman's patterned tunic, the shadows all take us to the two children in the background, sneaking an innocent kiss. The photograph is matted in a heavy white mat and framed with a simple black metal frame measuring 17h x 21w inches. Kirill Polevoy Stripes & Kisses, Chicago archival pigment print 16h x 20w in 40.64h x 50.80w cm 1/30 KIP005 “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.
