With concurrent exhibitions at Benrubi gallery (May 17 to July 1) and Hermès' boutique in Brookfield Place,
photographer Karine Laval is set to take New York by storm. A master manipulator of light and color, Laval explores
how far she can push her chosen medium. In her forthcoming Benrubi exhibition, "Artificial by Nature," Laval shares
her dense Heterotopia photos, which are built from layer upon layer of garden imagery. Seemingly infinite in their
complexities, her collaged compositions demand the viewer's undivided attention. benrubigallery.com
