Kevin Fitzgerald
Multi-disciplinary artist Kevin Fitzgerald describes himself best:
Things I like…travelling, funny stories, live music and dogs, swimming, ice cream, the Springboks and pizza, being on set, winning a bet and thick mist, making pictures, road trips with my wife, Tom Waits, Polaroids, Friday nights and giving frights.
Things I don’t like…liver, toothache, running out of toilet paper, getting frights, delayed flights and snake bites.
A glimpse into the renegade romance, the runaway dream, the fast-fading glory of life on the road with the circus. These images take us into the intimacy of “backstage” where dust from the road is being brushed off, last minute cigarettes smoked, new routines practiced. Shot on the legendary Polaroid - Polapan stock, creating a unique black and white positive image. So without further ado…
This series explores the scale and hidden magic of a city overwhelmed by itself. From an almost voyeuristic perspective, shielded by distance, darkness and weather the artist has harnessed his anonymity to capture vast secretive cityscapes. The subdued light creates enigmatic pools of shadow and darkness.
The beauty and romance of the ballet art form is most often appreciated from the perspective of the traditional audience. This collection pulls back the velvet to feature a world typically hidden from the public, images captured “behind the scenes” in rehearsal. Where perfection and grace are replaced by grit, relentless effort, raw power and determination.
