news

Deborah Samuel has produced, with Elegy, a new body of work that is
hauntingly beautiful in its stark simplicity. The work pares modernist
photography literally and technically to the bone. Elegy embraces the
Brancusi ideal of pure form, of image refined to its essence, with a
kicker. Samuel’s demand for formal perfection produces, in Elegy, a
clinical precision that carries a silent scream, “formulated,
sprawling on a pin.

Elegy opens at the Royal Ontario Museum on March 31,2012 and at 222
Shelby Street Gallery Friday July 20th, 2012.

Congratulations Deborah!
