OUTDOOR PORTRAITS VIRTUAL EXHIBITION

06 April, 2021

At the center of this presentation, about twenty silver prints were chosen mixing art outdoor portraiture and its staging. For each of his portraits, Willy Rizzo reconstitutes a Studio outside to welcome natural light “and then, at the will of heaven, of luck. It is necessary that the good star be on your side ”. This decor reinforces the authenticity brought to photography and tells us a story, like Willy Rizzo did with excellence. In these exhibited prints Willy Rizzo perceives well more than the environment when it comes to making it something important, to create a dynamic and a look like with Monroe, Penn, Dietrich, Nicholson, Bardot, Picasso ...

His warm presence, his communicative good humor, his mind and his natural elegance make the masks fall off. His photographs are always the result of a friendly meeting and shared intimacy with his models. "It's not easy to be photographed, it takes great concentration, patience. For the photographer it's the same thing. When we are at the level of looking for more than the photo, it requires an immense effort. Once we passed through, something remains. "

What a joy to find on each collector print an invitation to Spring!
All prints on display are signed and numbered by Willy Rizzo. Limited edition.

For his furniture, his ideas came out of, for the most part, a practical reflection to provide a comfortable and playful solution to the daily objects. They work perfectly in contemporary decors because they have an elegant simplicity and a raison d'être.
A virtual exhibition to visit serenely from home during the lockdown.

Photographer, international reporter, designer, Willy Rizzo went through life with rare intensity. Insatiable designer, he leaves behind him a dizzying collection of clichés and designer pieces, intimate testimonials, images overexposed by notoriety and memories of a sacred time.

Today she does it with a special energy, surrounded by her team, by exhibiting his work, by researching permanently in his archives, and carrying out interior design projects in the Rizzo style.
