MARK DE PAOLA | 60 SECONDS
November 03 – January 02, 2017
“60 Seconds” challenges the traditional limits of still photography, finding the moments of poetry at the crossroads of stillness and movement, the fluid elegance in the abstract, the trembling energy of intimacy. De Paola’s work embraces the otherworldly beauty of the female shape, felt fully even through the blur of abstraction, and celebrates naked vulnerability, the evocative art of laying it all bare, ultimately reminding us of the importance of getting lost in the moment.Green, A.
