Stephanie Lempert   "Unexpected Perspectives" May 22 to June 21, 2008   preview with the artist Thursday, May 22, from 6 to 8 pm In Stephanie Lempert's new series of photo based portraits the Artist goes far beyond what we would normally expect to see as portraiture. By focusing on her sitter's life experiences and how they have affected that person's aging process, their faces have become for Lempert a true road map of each person's outlook on life.  Inspired by the concept of a secret which is hiding in plain sight, the Artist uses the tell-tale wrinkles on her subject's faces to tell the stories of their lives.  Written in her sitter's own hand, snippets of thier stories are laid into the creases on their faces.  Thus these wrinkles become part of a canvas on which memories, pleasant or unpleasant, are indelibly etched, just as our memories are etched into the recesses of our own minds. http://www.stephanielempert.com For more information CLICK HERE CLAIRE OLIVER GALLERY 513 West 26th Street, New York, NY 10001 / Tel: 212.929.5949 / This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
