“Sufficient” by Photographer Laurent Chevalier

Dwelling and dealing in Brooklyn, New York, photographer Laurent Chevalier trains his lens on the town round him in his sequence, “Sufficient.” Revealed as a photobook by Kris Graves Initiatives, the work spans a interval of 5 years. Drawing inspiration from the traditional observer artists who got here earlier than him, like Roy DeCarava, Garry Winogrand, and Robert Frank, Chevalier’s photos are each timeless and distinctly up to date. He makes use of pictures to shift the frameworks of consultant imagery, providing a tangible exploration of the intersections of the Black expertise. “By means of a lens of candid remark, Sufficient explores themes of patriotism, energy, household, and spirit,” describes artist Shawn Theodore in a press release in regards to the challenge. “It doesn’t search to explain an expertise holistically, however slightly to current avenues that the viewer might select and comply with at will.”
