David LaChapelle (b. 1963) combines his unique and exaggerated realism with a deeply felt social pathos. The exhibition Burning Beauty highlights LaChapelle’s originality as an artist. He focuses on what we see in everyday life, and merges the aesthetics of consumerism with soul searching and a piercing eye. LaChapelle's perspective is paradoxical – he is critical, yet utterly fascinated.
