Omar Diop, 'Juan de Pareja' Photograph, 2014

About the Item

Photograph from the 'Diaspora' series Limited edition no. 7/8 (edition of 8 + 2 AP) Signed, titled and numbered With certificate of authenticity Image 120 x 80 cm Framed 128 x 88.5 cm Note: Omar Victor Diop's photographic career began in 2012 and he gained international recognition with his Project Diaspora, a series of inspired, staged metaphorical portraits of himself as various historical figures. He wittily plays homage to the portraits significant figures by famous artists of the 15th -19th centuries (here, specifically Velàsquez's eponymous portrait and in so doing, reflects on current obsessions with celebrity and with football in particular. For Diop, the European perception of African footballers is a mx of glory and hero-worship giving a somewhat fragile illusion of integration - exclusion is often the reality and this is the paradox he explores in so much of his work.

It will ship directly from the artist's printmaking studio with a signed certificate. About the artist: Bonnie Edelman was born in New York City. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Connecticut College on an academic and athletic scholarship. Having been raised in a family of artists and architects, Bonnie was always creating. Whether it was sculpture, painting, jewelry making and interior design, she has always had an intense need to express herself through creativity. Fashion was an all encompassing self expression so it was because of this idea of materializing thoughts, desires and inspirations that she decided to devote her career to the editorial side of the fashion industry. After an internship at Rolling Stone Magazine and then formally starting her career as the assistant to the Fashion Director at Seventeen Magazine, Bonnie moved through the ranks at Glamour Magazine and MTV. She then settled into the position of Travel Editor at Sports Illustrated, where she navigated the world producing exotic and inspiring photo shoots for the magazine’s annual Swimsuit Issue. It was during this time spent in The Islands of the Maldives, Ecuador, Venezuela and Kenya, to mention a few, while working closely with photographers like Sante D’Orazio, Russell James...
