About Ariane Lopez-Huici

  • Ariane Lopez-Huici (born August 5, 1945) is a photographer living between New York and Paris.
  • Her work has been successfully presented internationally in institutions - Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Spain, Musee de Grenoble, France, PS1-Moma, USA, French Institute New York, USA, among many others - as well as galleries - AC Project room, NY, Galerie Franck, Paris -.
  • She has received a strong critical interest from prominent art historians and writers, such as Arthur Danto, Edmund White, Yannick Haenel, Julia Kristeva and Carter Ratcliff. Lopez-Huici's work is focused on the human body, constantly transgressing conventional canons of beauty.
  • To accentuate the shadowy areas of the human adventure, she uses black and white photography marked with a pronounced grain and deep blacks.
  • Her series Aviva, Dalila, and Holly show her passion for Rubenesque bodies.
  • Her African series Adama & Omar and Kenekoubo Ogoïre reveal her interest for any kind of physical and sensual expression.
  • The series Rebelles and Triumph deal with a group of voluptuous women asserting their majesty.
  • Her series Priscille/Hecate (2009–2011), nude portraits of a handicapped model, affirms, in the tradition of Rodin, the true beauty and personality of the fragmented body.
  • After photographing the naked body for many years, it was an unusual challenge to work with Shani Ha (2013-2016) and her wearable textile sculptures.
  • Her images, as art critic David Cohen puts it, "convey a sense of the body as lived-in, actual and present." Lopez-Huici, as Francis Marmande says "illuminates the model, gives her the strength to transgress what we see or what we do not see."Connected to the incredible rich world of the free jazz improvisation, she records in depth many of the most talented musicians, publishing for example the series The flying hands of Cecil Taylor.
