Kevin Van Aelst was born in the state of New York. He grew up in central Pennsylvania. Kevin has its own weekly photo column in the New York Times Magazine. You probably will have to focus first to catch what each photo is about. But the moment of awareness will compensate all the brain work. Go further for a statement and some more interesting pieces of his.
"My color photographs consist of common artifacts and scenes from everyday life, which have been rearranged, assembled, and constructed into various forms, patterns, and illustrations. The images aim to examine the distance between the ‘big picture’ and the ‘little things’ in life—the banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of identity and existence. While the depictions of information--such as an EKG, fingerprint, map or anatomical model--are unconventional, the truth and accuracy to the illustrations are just as valid as more traditional depictions. This work is about creating order where we expect to find randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger ideas."
