LIONEL DELUY EVOLUTION



EVOLUTION >> HITS LOS ANGELES

FACTORY 311 ON EVOLUTION:
Imagine biology class on art and fashion: We dissect the subject of evolution through snaps and publications whilst considering the method of change in life over generations. It sounds improbable- but it’s actually a description of a bold, new and exciting exhibition that is set to take L.A by storm.

Inspiration for Evolution came from the brain-child of Factory311 director, Nicholas Hardy and the top-notch photographer, Lionel Deluy. While working together for sixteen months, there was always the inevitability of curating an exhibition. For Nicholas, evolution explains everything so perfectly: “It’s about growth, fight and life...you can’t construct ideas on your own, you need to seek like-minded people”, he explains.

Convening a crew of the most renowned digital artists from across the globe; Nicholas and Lionel are in quest to evoke a profound analogy between evolution and the creative realms, from our bond to change- all through the medium of visual projection. For Lionel, this is an opportunity to investigate and display; he wants to challenge the preconceptions of celebrities, and everything associated with them: “Today, the public perceive celebs as a somewhat God, but they are only human; I want to go deeper and further, to displace celebrities from their recognisable environment; make them shine in a different light, whilst capturing the essence of evolution”, he articulates.

The entire spectacle will take place in the L.A store De La Barracuda; consider the space a creative hub, essential to lifestyle: music, art, fashion and networking! Formerly, Barracuda has been accompanied with big names: Nike, Red Bull, Warner Bros, and now associated with Factory311, will surely revolutionise their creative sphere.

The display is open for one night only >> officially on Saturday the 13th June, for five hours only!
To RSVP this event please email >> RSVP@DSEVO.COM and provide us with you full information.

EVOLUTION >> WHOS IN?

Consider Lionel’s fifteen year old portfolio a memoir where cherished friendships and relationships transpired; it’s charged by a prodigy of talent and personality. For Lionel this is an occasion to recognise the evolution of his own career, as a professional photographer. “It truly has been a pleasure”, he exclaims.
