DAVID LACHAPELLE AT LEVER HOUSE

From June 2nd to September 30th the Lever House in New York will be presenting “From Darkness to Light” an exhibition by famed commercial photographer David La Chapelle . While La Chapelle is perhaps best known for his pop references, high profile subjects, and religious undertones,  the goal of “From Darkness . . .” is  utilizing photography in three ways: collage, stickers and paper chain. The pieces are inspired by the simplicity of childhood endeavors taught in early art lessons, re-imagined through the lens of adulthood. To put it simply the show is a breath of fresh air for the once over-exposed photographer.
