About this Event
DISCOVERING LIGHT
In a city defined by its extremes, Discovering Light, the new limited-edition hardcover photography book by New York-based fine art photographer Kevin Pineda Gould, unveils an artistic symphony where light, shadow, and typography merge into an immersive sensory experience. A poetic documentation of post-pandemic New York City, this collection of monochrome images transcends traditional photography, weaving a deeply personal narrative through striking graphical elements and evocative design.
Designed in close collaboration with seasoned graphic artist Simi Mahtani, Discovering Light is an experiential registry of self-discovery. Each element in the book is meticulously crafted, with typography that shifts dynamically like the city itself—monumental and commanding one moment, intimate and hushed the next. The expressive text, layered within Gould’s evocative photography, moves in harmony with the interplay of light and shadow, drawing the viewer deeper into the heart of New York.
“Four years ago, I picked up a camera by chance, and it opened a world of dreams where possibilities turned endless,” says Gould. “Through light and shadow, I was uncovering pieces of myself, framing not just a city but a journey within.”
Discovering Light is an invitation to see beyond the visible, to embrace the spaces in between, and to recognize that even in the deepest shadows, light is always waiting to be found.
Selected prints from the book will be on display at the Peak Design's Wall at 241 Gallery as well as two never-before-exhibited works. This is Gould’s second solo show at Peak Design NYC. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the power of monochrome photography and connect with the work of Kevin Pineda Gould. See you there!
Beverages sponsored by Grimm, LUNAR, and Topo Chico.
