Paolo Roversi "Guinevere"
Pace MacGill
This event has ended.
Photography, as a medium, encourages the prolonged examination and documentation of a subject over time. To that end, the photographs on view (1996-present) exclusively depict Roversi's friend and model, Guinevere, over the past 12 years. Roversi's pictures move beyond the physical facts; as his muse, Guinevere inspires Roversi to create images that are both abstract meditiations on the alchemy of beauty as well as intimate studies. Whether wearing haute couture or photographed nude, Guinevere's allure is palpable. The sum of the pictures' parts results in unconventional, often provocative portraits.
