This event has ended.

Sous Les Etoiles Gallery presents “Nuit Blanche” a series of photographs from Wendy Paton. “Nuit Blanche” is the artist’s second solo show at Sous Le Etoiles Gallery and after a successful launch in the European market, Wendy Paton will present and sign her critically acclaimed book “Visages de Nuit,”(published by Kehrer Verlag) to the U.S. market.

“Nuit Blanche” is a collection of the artist’s most recent candid night portraitsfrom the artist’s well-known series, “Visages de Nuit.”; a contemporary vision of the night; striking, hand printed, large format silver gelatin prints seen for the first time in this solo exhibition. Life-size in dramatic, powerful emotion, these latest nocturnal images from Paton allow the viewer to share the vision of the artist as a voyeur, and at the same time bringing the viewer into the subject’s world of mysterious darkness, as a participant inside the actual scene.

“What photographer Paton has so beautifully conveyed visually is what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow expressed poetically about humankind: We are ships that pass in the night… Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.”
– Karen Sinsheimer, Curator of Photography, Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
