Published 01 December 2020

Harry's work immediately identifies the object as a site of meaning. It is fair to say that Harry is strongly opposed to any restriction or taboo upon what he may represent, particularly from the arena of representing the female object or gender.

Allison Archer

Polish born Krystyna Petryk has long been fascinated with portraiture and representations of the nude in photography.

Once here she broadened her explorations to include both male and female subjects before shifting to photograph and research representations of men exclusively.

Feature
John Pigot
