This unique physical creation treats the dual-panel layout as an analytical laboratory for sub-surface psychological and cultural research, tracking a raw lifelong romance with the diverse personalities and radical expressions of freedom found on the magic island. The diptych tracks an intense, emotional graphic rhythm where a striking older man in a fedora hat and layered vests is paired alongside a strong female model with her arms crossed, both looking back at the viewer with a fearless, shameless stare. Surrounded by dark environmental shadows, their natural skin wrinkles, complex accessories, and distinct hairstyles are pushed into high relief by severe tonal boundaries that convert an honest social encounter into an undeniable architectural gravity for top-tier art portfolios.
“People from Ibiza” Kenta first came to visit the magic island of Ibiza as a young man at the age of 18 and fell in love with the diversity of personalities and expressions of freedom. In 2017 Kenta was based 6 months on the Island and got to meet and photograph some of the most fascinating characters and faces that made a strong impression on him.
