DENIS PIEL – EXPOSED

Posted on 2024-12-30

Immediately recognizable for their cinematic quality, his images were a sensational departure from the posed models of his predecessors. His always-sensual photographs tell a story which must be guessed at as several interpretations are possible. Often featuring reclining models lost in thought or engaged in mysterious narratives, Piel’s photographs were more influenced by filmmakers such as François Truffaut and Stanley Kubrick than photographers. His star rose swiftly and he was soon the fashion photographer of the 1980s, shooting many celebrity portraits along the way.

After a decade, Piel moved on to advertising and filmmaking and in 2002 he moved his family to the Château de Padiès in southwest France where he became seriously interested in sustainable agriculture. This newfound passion resulted in his colorful and abstracted Padièscapes photographs; work which celebrates nature in flowers and gardens. These images are a departure from the fashion pictures of Piel’s early career, but reflect his continued interest in the environment and humanity.

TAU LEWIS – SPIRIT LEVEL

Posted on 2024-12-30

Inspired by a range of sources including the many faces of the Caribbean Sea, techno and dub music, novels, and studies of religion and spirituality, among other subjects, Lewis expands her narrative and world-building possibilities. These figures, some of whom appear in other guises throughout Lewis’s various bodies of work, populate the artist’s domain with not only their presence and associated fables
but also with what she terms their “material DNA,” the genetic thread that binds them together. The works in Spirit Level originated in the wake of a major loss experienced by the artist. The forms embody Lewis processing a significant life transition, in which she refigures and repurposes material and emotional inheritances. Through the act of synthesizing found and inherited belongings, she reckons with the ending of an object’s journey as it changes hands, the mysterious space in between these transitions, and its reemergence in a new form.

Opposite – Alla världar ger ett sken, A / All Worlds Emit, A, 2023

Exhibition runs through to March 29th, 2025
