Collection:
"Ten" by Donavan Glover: A Spot Lite Exhibition

A decade in the making, “TEN” by Donavan Glover captures raw, timeless moments through the lens of a Detroit-born artist inspired by music, street life, and legends like Gordon Parks.

"When I decided to pick up a camera, I really didn’t know if I would be able to make
a career out of it. I just knew that it felt right and intriguing enough to explore
more.

Photography has allowed me to learn about other artists and works that I feel
deeply connected to, namely Gordon Parks. Multifaceted in numerous art forms
and doing it at a high level, Parks inspired me to embrace my pluralistic interests
and abilities throughout my 14 years of photographing.

“TEN” is a collection of photographs taken throughout my 10 year span as a full
time photographer and documentarian. This collection highlights people, places and
timeless moments in their most natural state. Inspired by music photography and
street photography, “TEN” is a manifestation of how music and my upbringing in
Detroit has always played an important role in my life and career as an artist and
pluralist." - Donavan Glover


Ten is on display at Spot Lite Detroit from March - June 2025.
