BODY AS ART – PHOTOGRAPHY BY THIERRY LAURENCE

Body As Art opens at Elegba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center on Friday, November 1 as a part of the 1st Fridays ArtWalk, 5 – 9p.

This series of black and white photographs manipulates light, dark and water to express an artistic essence of the male body as seen through the eye of Thierry Laurence. In his edgy portraitures, Laurence shows photography as “extension of my artistic expressions as a actor, dancer, singer and writer. When I have a camera in hand, I want to capture the moments where shadows give way to light and allow us to see.” Through January 31.
