Reminiscent of Japanese photography of the 1960s Rinko Kawauchi’s work is the search for the sublime amid the banal. Her series ‘HANABI’ (Japanese term for ‘firework’) depicts the photographer's vision of a fireworks show. The breezes of summer nights, the footsteps of children running alongside a riverbank, clouds portending warm showers and the sweet smell of apple candy are at powerfully nostalgic, at once both beautiful and melancholy. We are drawn in by a dance of lights and colors, and in the blink of an eye, an elegant and sensory party draws to a close, leaving us wondering what Kawauchi saw in the fireworks, and what lies beyond them.
Kawauchi, currently one of the most famed contemporary female Asian artists, is a recipient the eminent Annual Infinity Award (2009) from New York’s International Centre of Photography, in the category Art, and similarly was shortlisted in 2012 for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. She has joined and held many group and solo shows both at home and abroad, with major solo exhibitions in the Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain in Paris, London’s The Photographers’ Gallery, the Hasselblad Centre in Gothenburg, Semear Museu de Arte Moderna de Sao Paulo, the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum in Shizuoka, or Brussels’ ARGOS Centre for Art & Media. Major group exhibitions to date include those at Munich’s Haus der Kunst, the Huis Marseille in Amsterdam, Museum of Contemporary Art, inTokyo, Toyota Municipal Museum of Art in Aichi, or the Brighton Photo Biennial 2010: New Documents. Her unique approach is like a “drawing senses”, embracing motifs of every day details as well as cycle of life and its transience, and has been admired by art lovers all over the world.

Rinko Kawauchi
Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi weaves a narrative of the duality between life and death in her work. Her images simultaneously suggest optimism for an idyllic existence and existential dread for the struggles of everyday life.
Kawauchi graduated from Seian University of Art and Design in 1993. In 2001, she released a trio of photobooks — Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako — that received critical acclaim and launched Kawauchi’s career. Over the next two decades, she produced over 20 photobooks.
Kawauchi is a master narrator capable of telling stories in a minimalist style. Like the haikus she writes to accompany her work, Kawauchi’s photography offers poetry in the stillness of a single frame. Simplicity is a key element in her work, which captures intentional moments and freezes nature in time. Her subjects include fire, fireworks, clouds, lightning, sakura blossoms and waves.
In 2002, Kawauchi won the Rookie of the Year Award from the Photographic Society of Japan. She received the International Center of Photography’s Annual Infinity Award in 2009 and was shortlisted in 2012 for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize. In 2013, she won the Domestic Photographer Award at the 29th Higashikawa Awards and the Art Encourage Prize for New Artist from the Ministry of Education.
She has exhibited her work around the world, including at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Photographer’s Gallery in London, the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo and White Cube in Kyoto.

GIULIANO BEKOR - Butterfly or Breast
By Giuliano Bekor
Located in PARIS, FR
Giuliano has made an iconic name for himself in the world of photography since launching his commercial career in New York City shooting beauty, fashion and entertainment campaigns for premiere ad agencies and the covers of global magazines.
Digging deep into his subject to unearth their inherent strengths and vulnerabilities, Giuliano creates images that evoke drama and sensuality, always staying true to his unique vision.
By mixing classical elements with his unparalleled and boundless imagination about modern culture, Giuliano incorporates unconventional lighting techniques in his large format visual style that result in images that force the viewer to reinterpret how they see photographs.
The images evoke an emotionally raw, dramatic and glamorous style. Each work presents a narrative that takes the audience to a different dimension; one that is dangerous, addicting and often, taboo. A breathtaking melange of human forms rendered abstract with highly saturated colors, lashings of light, extreme textures and bold silhouettes.
Giuliano has recently taken his photo virtuosity over to the world of fine art, creating and producing his own privately conceived shoots, while consistently building a collection of mesmerizing photographs.
His 2015 participation in Salone del Mobile in Milan solidified Guliano’s reputation as an “art world favorite” Since then, galleries in Athens, Paris, New York and Los Angeles have hosted solo shows of his series/work.
Giuliano will take what you need...
