Today, I just want to share a photographer with you. I will let her glorious photography speak for itself. These two photos are from her “domesticated” series. Go to Amy Stein Photography to see more and read her statements about the work. 

If I share an artist’s work on my blog that I would like people to be aware of, it is important to note that all the artwork, including photography, is the copyright of the artist. If said artist sees their work on this blog and wants it removed, please contact me and I will remove it immediately.

ArtParis is celebrating its 10th year as a event where established and emerging contemporary artists are invited to exhibit side by side on an international level at The Grand Palais. This large event will showcase work from 115 French and foreign galleries with more than 2000 square feet of exhibit space and will feature 20 artists. This year’s title “Traversées,” which means “Crossings,” embraces the crossing from one generation to the next and crossing from one country to the next. This year’s exhibit will highlight emerging talent of the Arab world which encompasses African, Asian and European cultures. Brahim Alaoui, the curator, explains the purpose of the exhibition:

“As a synthesis between East and West, contemporary Arab art will appear in all its diversity, inviting us to observe multiple crossings, between time and space, from one media to another. This exhibition will mostly display the works of young emerging talents who will exhibit their art alongside the leading artist of the preceding generation, in an attempt to show the polymorphous nature of modern art. Apart from their use of the tools of modernity, these artist share in common a desire both to exhange ideas and to question the prevailing orthodoxy.”
