Kevin Scarlett, who is influenced by the graphic arts and surrealism, produces photographic work featuring chiaroscuro and geometry.

“As I wander through the streets of Brussels with my camera, I often wonder what other people are seeing.

Do they see the palette of pale colours, the shifting light and the dancing shadows?

Or the colours leaking from the shops in the chic neighbourhoods and the snack bars?

Do they feel the hot kiss of the setting sun on a winter’s day?

Or just the cold that hits them when they turn the corner of the street?

Can they hear the silence as they walk in the park?

Or just the constant roar of the traffic and the sirens of a busy city?

Do they see that they are entering into the beauty of my dream, being frozen in a 500th of a second.

Just a millisecond for all eternity”.
