Ari Marcopoulos, New York

Description

This monochrome diptych presents a portrait of a Black man with braided hair, photographed by Ari Marcopoulos in New York. The left panel shows a full-length shot of the subject standing with his arms slightly raised, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark slim-fitting trousers, and light-coloured athletic shoes against a plain white seamless background. The right panel is a tighter, square-framed shot focusing on the subject's profile from behind, highlighting the intricate pattern of his braids and the hood of his sweatshirt. The lighting is soft and even, creating subtle tonal gradations across the monochrome composition.
