KONSTANTINOS PIGADAS

Statement

The work of Konstantinos Pigadas takes on a form that strays from traditional photography of city skylines. Instead of going for the typical view of the landscape format following the horizon line, Konstantinos' photos depict an alternative from the straightforwardness of most other architectural photographers, and they remind us that photography does not always depict things as they actually are. Even his commercial work has a certain fine art tinge. His photographs are not extreme plays on geometry or angle or about social use and interaction, but a delicate balance of the two. Born in 1966 in Ioannina, Greece and studied at the Division of Contemporary Arts at the Ecole du Louvre of Paris and now residing in New York City.
