From September 22 through November 5th, 2011, Sous Les Etoiles Gallery will present Nudes, a new series of photographs by French artist and fashion photographer Sophie Delaporte.
In her new series Nudes, Sophie Delaporte has overcome the limitations of fashion photography. Her photography always reveals a spirit of vivacity and intuition which translates this new energy into graphic simplicity.
Simple accessories such as paper, fabric and chairs, embellish the model’s poses, creating a dramatic and playful elasticity of movement. Through her choice of colors, her unique way of staging and the joy of her imagery, Delaporte proves again the strength of her specific narrative vision.
Date: Sept 22nd – Nov 5th, 2011
Time: 10:53 pm – 11:53 pm

The exhibition Neither Here Nor There, but Here: Ruby Amanze, Shante’ Cozier and Keisha Scarville brings together three women artists from the African diaspora who explore their cultural origins through the mediums of photography and drawing. As art school graduates now in their thirties, each of the women search for a physical place where their identity can claim its origin. Concurrently, they work at defining a symbolic space that defines their present cultural positions. The work in the show is reflective of these searches, and while personal yet speaks to the global concerns of being ‘neithe ...
