Gregory Crewdson: Eveningside
Exceptionally devoted to creating the most visually striking and mysterious photograph possible, Gregory Crewdson is an innovator in large-scale photography.
In his Eveningside series (2021-2022), Crewdson uses light and tone to create images with melancholic atmospheres that connect with traditions of black-and-white photography and the history of film noir. The images reveal the photographer’s ongoing interest in the intersections of loneliness and beauty, unexpected wonder, and peculiarity of everyday life.
