Tinsquo’s curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Colorful Grit by Jake Keene.
Drawing on his practice as a filmmaker, the photographer presents images that function as single frame cinematic narratives. He explains:
“As a filmmaker who's always been obsessed with story, images, and aesthetics, I ventured into photography a year ago as a way of practicing cinematography. Over time, I developed a style built heavily on contrast. That’s the theme behind Colorful Grit: the melding of conflicting contexts — the real and the cinematic, the vibrant and the dirty — until all lines are blurred and an entirely new context appears.”
Keene’s work has been recognized in Somewhere Magazine, Abandoned Gallery, Our Magazine, Stellare Magazine, Paradise Magazine, Pellicola Magazine, Blue Hour Magazine and will be featured on the cover of the forthcoming album from Air Review.
Colorful Grit runs through July 20 and is on view at the Adjacent To Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
