David LaChapelle's works such as magazine racks, album covers, advertisements, music videos, etc. can be seen everywhere. La Chapelle's lively, colorful, strange and humorous image, known as the "New Surrealist", has been admired by millions of people and makes him one of the most famous photographers today. LaChapelle's work since the beginning of his career has attracted the attention of many other artists, celebrities, journalists and ordinary people. I noticed his work in advertising magazines for the first time a couple of years ago.
David LaChapelle started taking pictures at high school. At the age of 18, he moved from North Carolina to the Lower East Side of New York in the late 1970s. After a casual encounter with Andy Warhol, he began an interview. And he called it "art school". Twenty years later, David LaChapelle is still here. He was a mother who was good at incorporating youths, divisions, suburbs, and fantasies that were smoked in the 1970s into the movies. The impact is obvious. LaChapelle celebrates artificiality, he also makes it beautiful
Calling rare opportunities is a discreet expression. And the discreet expression is not so famous for Andy Warhol or David LaChapelle. These persuasive artists' works are included in a great online auction that benefited from PRIDE, Fire Island Artist Residency and Queer NY Festival. The auction was held with the support of dot 429 and InTandem Creatives. Matthew Knight, a auction expert, said, "In terms of media, theme and tone, we communicate the dynamic community spirit of LGBT artists and link them with rare and perfect sources of information." With bidding and quotes, this collection includes the original work of Keith Haring and the Robert Mapplethorpe print chosen, as well as the handwritten frame description of the artist.
David Lachapelle is not only an American photographer but also a film director and an artist. His work is very real and colorful, expressing his visual story with celebrities. His works are published in publications around the world and are exhibited around the world. La Chapel is known for his history of art history, and he creates social commentary through his work.
