About this artwork
Estimated value: $1,900 to $2,280 Photograph, Pigment Print. Image Size: 21x28cm Edition 01 of 01 Sunset is part of Apollonia's "Covered Cars" series, a more playful and spontaneous collection that marks a significant shift in her artistic approach. Captured during an evening walk in Los Angeles, this photograph showcases a car shrouded in a cover, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. Unlike her earlier analog work where Apollonia meticulously waited for perfect lighting conditions, this series embraces a more relaxed and immediate style. Here, she focuses on composition and the intriguing mystery presented by covered vehicles in the urban landscape. The image reflects Apollonia's newfound interest in finding beauty and intrigue in everyday scenes, inviting viewers to imagine what lies beneath the cover while appreciating the interplay of light, form, and shadow in the fading daylight.
