Author Description

Elad Lassry is a Los-Angeles based artist whose practice is concerned with visual perception and the meaning of images in the 21st century. The artist is well known for his still lifes of fruit and vegetables, commercial goods and everyday objects, as well as his vivid portraits of people and animals. In addition the artist also frequently works with found images which he sources through textbooks, magazines, and film and photographic archives. At first glance, Lassry?s approach to these subjects and image genres appears to be relatively simple and straightforward, but upon closer investigation this easy recognition gives way to a sense that what is happening within the artist?s altered images and carefully-constructed studio photographs is in fact, highly complex.00Exhibition: Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada (24.06.-01.10.2017).
