Wilmotte Gallery at The Lichfield Studios is launching its 2010 contemporary art programme with new work by French photographer Marie Passa de Safar from 28 April. Marie Passa de Safar’s photography is closer to painting or charcoal drawing, with architecture, nature and still life all reappraised through her eyes and re-presented at the point where figuration and abstraction meet. This is the first UK show for Passa de Safar, who graduated in architecture and design and worked for many years at an international architecture agency before turning her attention to photography in 2007. Wilmotte Gallery at The Lichfield Studios is located at 133 Oxford Gardens, London, W10 6NE. The exhibition runs until 18 May.

Wilmotte Gallery at The Lichfield Studios launch their 2010 contemporary art programme with new work by French photographer Marie Passa de Safar from 28 April.

International architecture practice Wilmotte UK and curator Tristan Hoare have joined forces to show work that is rarely seen in this country. Wilmotte UK’s exhibitions will focus on architecture and contemporary art.

Marie Passa de Safar’s photography is closer to painting or charcoal drawing, with architecture, nature and still life all reappraised through her eyes and re-presented at the point where figuration and abstraction meet. This is the first UK show for Passa de Safar, who is currently working on several new series, including the facades of Italian churches and palaces, as well as illustrating Michelangelo’s sonnets. Born in 1971, Passa de Safar graduated in architecture and design and worked for many years at an international architecture agency before turning her attention to photography in 2007.

She lives and works in Paris.
