DAWID

b. 1949, Örebro, Sweden

​

In the group show WHERE THE LIGHT GETS IN the photograph 2698 by Swedish artist DAWID is included. DAWID’s approach to light is central to his photographic practice, where it becomes more than just a technical element - it serves as a narrative tool. His use of light is subtle yet deliberate, often illuminating the subject in ways that heighten the emotional intensity of the image. DAWID often works with natural light, harnessing its inherent warmth and unpredictability, adding a sense of immediacy to his works. This natural light, paired with his restrained compositions, creates a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is an uninvited witness to a private moment. In 2698 sharp, harsh lighting is contrasted with soft gradients, creating dramatic tension that underscores the emotional complexity of the seemingly mundane composition.
