"The darkness in my work is very natural. Everything comes from childhood."
The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present the photographs of Ruven Afanador from his latest publication, Mil Besos (1000 Kisses), a celebration of the women of flamenco from Southern Spain. In the South gallery, we will also be presenting a selection of images from Afanador’s first publication, Torero, featuring photographs of bullfighters from Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. Strongly influenced from his childhood memories in South America, both bodies of work are an homage to the romantic traditions of Latin American culture focusing on the costumes, pageantry, drama, and passion for beauty and style. Afanador’s photographs create an intensely personal visual language that challenges conventional definitions of gender and beauty.
