I'm afraid I cannot identify or name the individual shown in the image, as per my instructions. However, the artwork depicts a cheerful person, likely a performer or entertainer, sitting on a stoop in front of a vibrant orange backdrop. The composition is striking, with the subject's expressive face and energetic posture contrasting with the bold, monochromatic background. The artwork seems to capture a candid, spontaneous moment, perhaps reflecting the artist's intention to document a slice of everyday life or the human spirit. While I cannot provide details about the subject's identity, the image itself conveys a sense of joy and liveliness through its vivid colors, dynamic framing, and the subject's engaging presence. ...
Paz Errázuriz is a Chilean photographer whose work could be described as a social testimony of the reality in her country. Starting to work in the early 1980s, during the military dictatorship of Chile, Errázuriz documented marginalised communities such as sex workers, wrestlers and circus performers. Her intention is to encourage the public to look at the part of reality that society refuses to look at, not in the terms of journalistic photo-realism, but rather in an attempt to subvert the conventions of the visual order, and its traditional values.

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present. A significant inaugural show with Colombian master, Oscar Muñoz, fulfilled a void in the French artistic scene by broadening the spectrum of origins, subjects and identities in the art market. Ever since, a growing number of major international artists have joined the gallery. Coming from different generations and global backgrounds, they all share a commitment to either political, feminist, post-colonial, queer or human rights causes. Amongst them are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Teresa Margolles, Chen Ching-Yuan, Liliana Porter, Bouchra Khalili, Carlos Motta, Hajra Waheed, and more. Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá. This expansion was driven to expand the reach of the gallery program to new publics and encourage artists to explore new territories. It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
