NEXUS MODERN ART PRESENTS
L’ECLISSE
AN EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS BY PIERRE BARONI
OPENED BY KATE CEBERANO,
TUESDAY 17, 2009.
Pierre Baroni is a renowned Australian music industry photographer whose portraits have featured on the cover art of over 200 releases. His subjects range from legendary soul singers Ray Charles, James Brown, Mavis Staples, Isaac Hayes, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke to home-grown stars including Nick Cave, Jimmy Barnes, Archie Roach, Kate Ceberano, Deborah Conway, Renée Geyer, Jimmy Little, Tina Arena and Vanessa Amorosi.
When not capturing the glowing, knowing eyes that that have become his stylistic trademark, Baroni photographs his other passion, the naked form.
Baroni’s solitary perspective on the nude form has a poetic resonance, one moment sharply detailed; the next, cloked in a grained fog of mystery. His flowing, seemingly moonlit images possess a truly eclipsing beauty.
Featured to the right are the photographs from last years exhibition "CAMILLE"
"Camille is a muse, a siren, a temptress, a goddess. We look at her and see not only Camile but also Pierre Baroni, a man with a distinctive eye for the truth in his subject, for the humour, the line, the elegance, the sensuality and beyond that, for the compelling nature of our murky depths." Deborah Conway. March, 2008.
