M+B gallery in Los Angeles is currently exhibiting The Black Eye, an exhibition of color photographs by Tel Aviv based artist Michal Chelbin. The work recalls classical images of athletes while highlighting emotional intimacy staged behind monochrome backgrounds and lush landscapes. At a quick glance, the figures are reminiscent of Diane Arbus' work but also differ in many ways. Unlike Arbus, these images are neither nostalgic nor candid. Fiction and documentary talents collide in Chelbin's work. They are truly spectacular.
The show runs until December 4th.
