The Bratislav City Gallery (Slovakian Republic) presents David LaChapelle: Lost and Found, an exhibition of the work portfolio of this renowned photographer, which is balanced among art, advertising aesthetics, commercial photography, fashion and audio-visual work.
The career of David LaChapelle has gone from black and white portrait photography, through costly fashion campaigns, world celebrity portraits, up to the art photography.
LaChapelle belongs to group of living world elite artists. In the 80s, his portrait artwork was marked by his conviction of being HIV positive, and that´s why all of the pieces of this decade are black and white. When his HIV tests turned out negative, he decided to visually compensate for the previous period and from that time on, LaChapelle's signature have been surrealistic set pieces and rich saturated photography. Their main characters have been world known celebrities willing to accept his game.
Date: until October 30.
Place: The Bratislav City Gallery. Pálffy Palace. Pánska 19. 815 35, Bratislava. Slovakian Republic.
