Monday Entry: Alan Kupchick



























I couldn’t find a lot of information on Alan Kupchick, but I was immediately drawn to his colorful, crisp images of sparse buildings set beneath bright blue skies.  In THE Magazine they state that on Kupchick’s road trips across America, he “has taken a fresh look at our urban and natural landscapes.  Filtered through his unique insight and wry humor, these images are presented in bold chromatic statements.  In a statement from Kupchick, he explains his work by saying: “I create photographs that make the world look like a well organized, good-looking, well structured place, which of course it isn’t.  But it makes me feel better to portray it that way.” His use of clean lines and shapes makes urban environments look pristine and organized, and almost believable.
