FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATTENTION: Arts Editors and Photography Collectors LA GALERIE PARIS 1839 PRESENTS Eclosions Exhibition Eclosions Exhibition La Galerie Paris 1839 is delighted to present Eclosions exhibition showcasing photography artworks from French artist Cyril Delettre. In the series of Eclosions, Hong Kong based French photographer Cyril Delettre expresses his feelings about this energetic metropolitan city through his lens. Exploring the mutation and metamorphosis in photography, Cyril Delettre transforms his photographs of Hong Kong street scenes into kaleidoscopic disc-like images using multi-exposure photography technique. From a picture of a building or landscape, Delettre creates a new meaning of “supernovas”. A new world appears with allusion of the original one. The new perspective he explores shows Hong Kong as he sees it: vibrant, unexpected and beautiful. Cyril Delettre also won the grand prize with his Eclosions series which it was shown in the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong during the Hong Kong Art Week 2017.
