  • Guy Bourdin at Michael Hoppen Contemporary

    Art

    2 Feb 2012 to 10 Mar 2012

    Bourdin, born in Paris in 1928, was one of the most radical and influential fashion photographers of the twentieth century. His unique blend of surreal and erotic imagery filled the pages of international magazines such as French Vogue during the 1970s and also became synonymous with the revolutionary advertising campaigns for Charles Jourdan. Rejecting the typical ‘product’ shot in favour of staging unsettling scenarios that hint at consumption, sex and desire, his photographs sought to shock and play on viewer’s curiosities. This exhibition introduces rarely-seen before, limited edition work of some of his most captivating images - including a selection from his renowned series for the Pentax Calendar of 1980. Michael Hoppen Gallery is the exclusive representative of the Estate of Guy Bourdin.

  • Hisaji Hara at Michael Hoppen Contemporary

    Art

    24 Feb 2012 to 31 Mar 2012

    This exhibition will mark the first European solo show of Hisaji Hara, one of Japan’s brightest new photo stars. Both strange and familiar, Hisaji Hara’s photographs are meticulous recreations of paintings by the highly-revered Polish-French artist, Balthus (1908-2001). Hara creates his images through multiple exposures, all done in-camera without computer manipulation, which coupled with the use of smoke machines and cinematic lighting lends them a wistful, timeless quality akin to the paintings he has referenced. Characterised by a tableau vivant approach and romanticised pictoralism, Hara’s studies of adolescent girls and boys, can be considered as a poignant longing for youth and innocence.
