Kim Keever

Kim Keever's photographs remind me of classic oil paintings of American landscapes. But here is why I love these photographs: they are mini scenes created in a large fish tank, then filled with water and left to degrade and decompose. Pretty cool, huh?

Scroll down to the last images to better see his process and click on them for a close-up.

A piece of the common garden hedge runs off and becomes...



an industrial cooling tower,


Corbusier's Villa Savoye,


and a city lamp post.
D. Lefkowitz is at the Carrie Secrist Gallery in Chicago until March 21st.
