1294 SUNSET is pleased to announce the opening of a solo exhibition, Aperture Fiction, by Marie du Petit Thouars
The 13 works exhibited demonstrate the elusiveness of Marie du Petit Thouars' s photography, with the common thread being an atmosphere of solitude. Each of her subjects move independently from the next, but seem to dance together in a familiar loneliness.
Using natural light, long exposure and movement to capture the story of the image, one is not sure if they have entered a nightmare or a dream.
Born in Elgin, Illinois, Marie grew up in Europe and studied drawing in Florence, photography in San Francisco, and comic illustration in Brussels. She was also a Fashion Editor for seven years in Paris at publications such as The London Sunday Times, Le Monde, L'Officiel and French Vogue. She is still very close to European culture which is often represented in her work.
Her work is printed from her studio in Los Angeles, where she has resided for the past 3 years.
In 2009 she exhibited for Art Brussels and her photographs are soon to be published in "Les Dessous Féminins" by Sirrocco-Parkstone International out of London.
This is the inaugural exhibition at 1294 SUNSET, a new artist-run space in the Los Angeles district of Echo Park.

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
