Katy Grannan – “Boulevard”
LOS ANGELES – Katy Grannan spent last years searching, in the streets of LA and SF, faces able to catch her attention and to provoke her talent.
“Boulevard” is a collection of street-photos that are everything but shooting make on a sidewalk. The background is a wall of white stucco, too lighting, against that stay faces and bodies of anonymous people who, into Kate’s camera, are tranformed in characters of a no-time story that may happen everywhere or nowhere.
Vivid images, hard colors, dramatically real and, at the same time, unreal.
What you see are the same persons that came nearby you on the street; person that right now you musk watch with the attention of an entomologist.
“Boulevard” is reportage, is portrait, is costume, is fashion, is poetry… is art. Contemporary art.
Katy Grannan has exhibited at the Whitney Biennial; the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao; the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art and at the al Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
She is represented by Fraenkel Gallery and by Salon 94 NY
