Anthony Lepore: Restoration

Anthony Lepore’s revelatory color photographs examine relationships between humans and their environment. While bringing a wide-ranging perspective to his work, Lepore employs a 4-by-5-inch field camera to capture the authentic gesture of a fleeting moment—the ecstatic expression of the artist’s grandmother feeding birds or the tender embrace of two lovers. Lepore’s subjects reveal a deep desire to restore their relationships with the people and places closest to them. This is the Los Angeles-based artist’s first solo museum exhibition.
