Kevin Mackintosh, Photographer, London

Description

This vertical photographic work by Kevin Mackintosh features two Black individuals standing back-to-back atop a rocky terrain under a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. The two figures are draped together in an oversized, highly textured garment composed of shimmering silver tinsel and bright blue frayed rope or yarn cascading down the rocks. Both subjects wear baseball caps, one in a vibrant red and the other in magenta, along with red socks. The harsh overhead lighting casts sharp shadows, accentuating the rugged texture of the earth and the reflective sheen of the tinsel wrap against the deep blue expanse.
