Artist Spotlight: Laurent Chehere


I am in love with these photographs! French photographer Laurent Chehere's new series "Flying Houses"  was inspired by the homes in the Belleville and Menilmontant neighborhoods in Paris.  The signs of everyday life- clotheslines, string lights, graffiti, satellite dishes, etc. add to the whimsy and wonder within these images.  The photographs' combination of "Up" imagery with non-idyllic homes calls forth a feeling of escapism and a bit of voyeurism.  LOVE it! 

"Flying Houses" will be on display at the Galerie Paris-Beijing from October 25th through December 4th, 2012.
