ART LABOR GALLERY IS VERY PLEASED TO PRESENT CHRISTY LEE ROGERS’ LATEST CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION, “HUMAN”, HER THIRD SOLO SHOW IN SHANGHAI

Human

22 May - 30 June, 2021

ART LABOR Gallery (see details HERE)

101 Haifang Lu, Jing'an District, Shanghai, China

ART LABOR Gallery is very pleased to present Christy Lee Rogers’ latest creative photographic collection, “Human”, her third solo show in Shanghai, running from May 22nd to June 30th, 2021.

Like most during this trying year, Rogers has spent much time close to home. Fueled by the events around the world she's taken this opportunity to dive in to the latest of her underwater series, “Human” with which Rogers' depicts both the strength and vulnerability of humanity. First released online only, this will be the first time these works will be seen in a gallery.

Poster_CLR_Human_final.jpg

The name human was selected to presuppose a coming together of humanity into a modern renaissance, kindled by adversity and tribulation, and flowering into unforeseen new realities. If art was a passageway into the soul and something more profound within ourselves, she reminds us of our own vulnerabilities within a landscape of hope and magic.  In Rogers' unique way, she urges us to look beyond the finite boundaries of what's in front of us, and to see between the spaces into a new future. 

All of her works are photographed in water, using the refraction of light to create painterly images, and often compared with Baroque and Renaissance paintings.  The water within the images flows life to all areas, taking on bold curving forms and transforming everyday people into angelic creatures, seemly from some other place. In these works, Rogers hypothesizes the idea that if photons of light are without mass and only perceived because of the eyes, then there must be other things around us that we cannot perceive as of yet. 

ROGERS "OUR HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS" IMAGE ADORNS THE NEW SIMON LEOZA ALBUM

From Simon Leoza, the Montreal based Composer….

Finally, this day has arrived. This record has been simmering gently for so long and is now ready to be out in the world. Albatross is my first full-length album of unique compositions that I have been collecting and shaping over the past six years.

Musically, this 10-piece album moves from the grandiose to the intimate, characteristic of the worlds I depicted under Tambour. Some delicate pieces are intertwined with the lively emotions of the more energetic pieces. Rich in instrumentation and electronic textures, the album is a daring emotional journey, co-produced by Blaise Borboën-Léonard and subtly mixed by Tonio Morin-Vargas. The arrangements for string quartet were sometimes expanded to eight voices, giving the impression of a larger string ensemble.
The album is of course available on your favorite streaming service, but the best listening quality will certainly come from the vinyl record. This 180g clear vinyl edition will give you a listening experience as we imagined it during the making of this album. It is also available on compact disc.
