Kevin Lanthier’s work tells stories about everyday life, through depictions of the familiar made archetypal. He builds concept-driven composite images, combining and juxtaposing photographed subjects in a photorealistic way to heighten narratives and distill meaning. His most recent series HUMAN:NATURE explores and contrasts the lives of wildlife in human-altered spaces, while his widely exhibited award-winning series The Special examined Vancouver’s history and culture through hyper-real, nostalgic streetscapes. An addendum to this series, wherein the same process was applied to imagery he shot in Istanbul, was selected as a finalist for the Salt Spring National Art Prize.
