A New York State of Mind brings together two distinct yet deeply complementary visions of New York City by photographers Kit Young and Mikko Takkunen. Presented by FAS44 Gallery at their Las Vegas space in collaboration with The Hulett Collection, the exhibition traces the pulse of a city that is forever in motion—its people, its architecture, its shifting rhythms of light and shadow. Young’s atmospheric, cinematic frames sit in conversation with Takkunen’s precise, observational studies, creating a portrait of New York that feels both intimate and expansive.
Opening Thursday, January 22, and on view through February 20, 2026, the exhibition invites audiences to experience the city as these artists see it: restless, luminous, unpredictable, and endlessly compelling. A public reception will celebrate the launch of the show, with Mikko Takkunen in attendance. Together, these works offer a rare opportunity to encounter contemporary New York through the eyes of two artists whose practices continue to shape the evolving language of street and documentary photography.
In support of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, both artists have donated a print to be raffled off during the Opening Artist Reception. For 50 years, St. Jude’s Ranch has provided a safe, nurturing home with therapeutic residential treatment services to thousands of abused and neglected children in Nevada. St. Jude’s Ranch has made and continues to make a difference by creating new lives with new hope for these children.
