The Miami Beach Art Gallery Presents a New Survey of the Renowned Photographer’s Work, Featuring Over 30 Photographs Created Between 1985 and the Present, including a World Premiere
MIAMI BEACH, FL (December 18, 2023) – VISU Contemporary announces its new exhibition for 2024 featuring works by internationally acclaimed photographer David LaChapelle. The collection, titled “DAVID LACHAPELLE: HAPPY TOGETHER” curated by VISU Contemporary gallery owners Bruce Halpryn and Blake Pearson, will be on display from January 26 through March 2, 2024, and will feature a selection of over 30 significant photographs from the artist’s career from 1985 to the present, including the premiere of a new work.
Highlights of the exhibition include: Archangel Uriel (1985), one of LaChapelle’s earliest figurative works displaying a stoic cherub resting on the overlook of a great forest; My Own Marilyn (2002), which presents the artist’s muse Amanda Lepore in an homage to Warhol’s Shot Sage Blue (1964); After the Deluge: Museum (2007), where LaChapelle reminds us that human survival cannot be separated from nature while precious objects are as temporary as our climate; Spree (2019-2020), inspired by accounts of Shackleton’s Trans-Antarctic Expedition, which finds a colossal mega cruise ship frozen in time within a vast, icy landscape; Behold (2015), representing LaChapelle’s ability to reimagine Old World ideas and aesthetics with painterly effect through photography; and Revelations (2019), inspired by the biblical book of the same name.
LaChapelle’s newest work, Three Graces (male) (2023), inspired by Raphael’s master painting The Three Graces (1503-1505), will also be on view.
“We are thrilled to present David LaChapelle’s first-ever solo exhibition on Miami Beach,” said Bruce Halpryn, co-owner and co-curator of VISU Contemporary. “This curation reveals an exciting range of themes while highlighting the artist’s distinct ability to create thought-provoking narratives. Many of the iconic works on view have become a mirror of the time we live in, while also providing a glimpse into the future.”
To celebrate the introduction of LaChapelle’s presence in Miami, the artist will be present for the exhibition opening on January 26 from 7-9 p.m. For more information, visit www.visucontemporary.com.
There are two fun modes in ragdoll hit. Each one brings a different kind of rough fun with its own features. Ragdoll physics are used in action-packed battles in every mode, which forces players to adapt, respond, and plan.
This looks like a fantastic exhibition. Celebrating creativity and shared experiences through art is always valuable. It's interesting how passionate communities can form around creative works, whether in galleries, exhibitions, or games like fnaf.
Watching Jamal tackle those questions feels more intense than surviving a wild Ragdoll Hit. Absolutely love this movie choice!
