About this artwork
Some years ago, I was out on assignment in South Africa's remote Karoo region. The journalist and I stopped at a diner somewhere along the way.
Two street kids, ashen with hunger and cold, approached us just as we were about to enter through the revolving door. They were bent over like old men, dragging the crippling poverty of generations behind them in the dust. Politely, they asked for spare change. The journo, a world-weary voyager, gravely… shook his head. I fished out my wallet and handed them whatever meager coins I could find. The palms that shot out from the frayed sleeves were calloused, as if they wrestled day and night with some terrible iron angel I could never comprehend. The wrists were impossibly thin.
As we sat down at a table near the window, they peered in through a whole in the vinyl to catch a glimpse of the luxurious dreamworld shimmering within.

Kritzinger expertly balances an edgy, stylized aesthetic with a sense of fundamental realism, utilizing emotive color pairing and dynamic lighting while aiming to capture moments authentically in-camera. For the most part, his photographs are deeply personal while at the same time evoking a sense of universal, mystical transcendence, transforming the ordinary into something sublime and deeply evocative. His more conceptual projects often features a strong social conscience and commentary on modern culture. The language of light ultimately illuminates all, and in that sense his work can be seen as a form of visual poetry, inviting viewers to reconnect with a World often lost in plain sight.
