PRIMITIVE marks Grant Valeska's debut exhibition and provides a captivating introduction to his artistic vision and approach. Although PRIMITIVE doesn't carry any explicit narrative or social commentary, it challenges the pre-existing notion that intentionality is not possible in work where the primary focus is placed upon aesthetics and visual impact, and invites the viewer to appreciate fashion photography as an art form in itself.

With PRIMITIVE, Valeska delves into the boundary between fashion and art, demonstrating his skill in blending the two realms seamlessly. Through his lens, the viewer is transported into a world of striking poses, intricate textures, and arresting compositions.

This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion photography and the art of visual storytelling.
