The Peter Granser 'Sun City' photo series features the population of a retirement colony. If you ever thought Southwest America was weird before, go deeper with these elderly rascals. Every subject still boasts youthful energy behind wrinkled eyes. The city depicted is a place reserved only for those over 55 years of age.
Peter Granser is a self-educated artist, with a masterful eye for lighting and color manipulation. The 'Sun City' series is dried up with muted tones and monotonous coloring, achieving the dusty feel of the Southwest. The heat practically radiates from the photographed concrete walls. While the series lends its foundation to minimalism, the attention to detail makes the collection memorable.
