While
Oscar Bony had a longstanding career in the arts as a painter,
he is best known for the body of photographic work that
he produced during the last decade of his life, the 1990s.
Bony took a very unique approach to photography as he produced
a series of large scale photographs of himself, framed them
behind glass, and then "reshot" himself by riddling
the images with bullets from a 9mm pistol. These violent
and powerful works have received world attention and acclaim.
This exhibition will be the first individual show of the
artist's work in the United States, though his work was
recently included in Inverted Utopias at MFAH and
Between Violence and Memory at Sotheby's New York.
