Each to his taste: what this one scorns
Another likes; roses one plucks, another thorns.
Petronious -The Satyricon
The Christopher Henry Gallery is pleased to open its fall season with its first solo exhibition
of New York-based photographer Ves Pitts.
Ves Pitts’ exhibition is a collection of Baroque photographs that explore a kaleidoscope of
macabre places and erotic personas. From the dark cavernous clubs of New York and
Amsterdam to the elaborate religious shrines of Rome, Mr. Pitts has documented a variety
of the eccentric that reflects on art history and early silent cinema. Inspired by the Cabinet
of Dr. Caligari and Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights, Mr. Pitts adds a hint of
Southern gothic debauchery to create photographs that float in and out of the unconscious
and authentic truth.
