Yelena Yemchuk "Gidropark"
Gitterman Gallery
This event has ended.
Gitterman Gallery presents an exhibition of black and white photographs by Yelena Yemchuk.
Best known for her fashion and portrait photography, this series is very personal to Yemchuk, who was born in the Ukraine in 1970 andspent her summers as a child visiting this park. Her images made on the beaches, sports grounds and woodlands that populate the park capture characters and an atmosphere that is Felliniesque. There is a timeless quality about this place; it is both caught in the past, while at the same time, full of the life of today.
Yemchuk immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was eleven. She became interested in photography when her father gave her a 35 mm Minolta camera for her fourteenth birthday. Yemchuck has studied at Parsons and the Art Center in Pasadena. Her photographs have appeared in the New Yorker, Another Magazine, ID, Dazed & Confused, and Italian, British and Japanese Vogue and her paintings and photographs have been exhibited around the world. Gidropark is her first book.
