John Lawton, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome still life photograph by John Lawton features a black sudoku puzzle board angled centrally in the frame. The board is divided into nine smaller grid sections, some populated with cylindrical pegs marked with numbers. Several loose numbered pegs rest on the curved metallic mesh surface below the board. The lighting creates sharp highlights and soft shadows, accentuating the tactile textures of the wooden board and the industrial wire mesh. The composition is captured in black and white with a high-contrast aesthetic.
