AMERICAN JESUS

clip_image002

David LaChapelle’s solo exhibition AMERICAN JESUS, is currently showing at the Paul Kasmin gallery and  will be on view through September 18, 2010.

LaChapelle draws on an immense lexicon of art historical references, current events, and popular culture, to make visually compelling images each unique in their narrative and evocative content.

Shown for the first time in New York is part of a series which began over a decade ago including three large-scale photographs depicting Michael Jackson as a modern day martyr. Of all of the subjects LaChapelle has portrayed, Jackson unquestionably lived one of the most epic and dramatic lives of our time. If you have some time go check it out before the exhibition ends!
