Water Photograph - Limited Edition of 31

In his latest series, Aleks explores colour matching, symmetry, and harmony, seeking balance and finding composition amid the seeming disorder of the city. Shot in residential areas of London, 'Environmental' is a poetic exploration of chance and deliberation. Aleks does not interact with the objects he documents; he captures them as he finds them. Whether an abandoned chair, a pile of unwanted clothing or children’s toys, Aleks surreptitiously collaborates with the viewer's imagination, pushing their cognition into overdrive. Imagine putting on granddad's glasses and entering a room you know well, one you’ve been in so many times before. You recognise it, but simultaneously, through these uncanny lenses, you see it differently. In Alek’s photos, each scene is both familiar and skewed. The photographer’s intentions are tacit; the significance and emotive pull of each photograph is there to be teased out. After processing those things through his subconscious and the camera lens, Aleks returns our discarded items, giving us another chance to rethink and reevaluate their value and meaning.
