Press Release Body: LE STUDIO has already presented, with success, some of Joachim
Lapôtre's productions within collective shows, and during Affordable Art Fair Paris,
last May. Today, considering the overall quality and completion of his recent «
Still Life » series, it appeared urgent to host his first solo exhibit.

There is nothing 'still' about Lapôtre's photographs: they change, evolve daily,
reflecting our own changes, those of our times, as well as our contrasts and
contradictions. Consumerism, vanity, moral values, esthetic principles, Lapôtre
leads everything towards an epitomic destruction, a slow and splendid death, before
giving a razor-sharp rebirth to each ensemble.

At age 32, with the soon to-be-cult triptych « Offering », Joachim Lapôtre is
emerging as one of the most promising and warped talents around.
