After Madonna Comes Miss Aniela: Brighton-Based Beauty Gets An Exhibition
Following the unmitigated success of the Madonna Nudes, Impure Art Gallery present their next coup - an exhibition of arresting and sensual self-portraits by the young woman who became a phenomenon through the internet, Miss Aniela.
"Neurotica" is a collection of Miss Aniela"s images from the most erotic to the most "neurotic", focusing on the use of light and the female form.
Her work is charged with mystery, eroticism, and fun; fusing fantasy with reality, and femininity with a wilful independence. She embraces the liberating idea of ultimate control and self-representation.
Miss Aniela (aka Natalie Dybisz) from Brighton, poses for, photographs and processes her own photographic portraits, frequently cloning herself several times in a single image.
She demonstrates to us the vast and endless possibilities of playing a character, or several characters, in her photographs and being her own muse.
Throughout her work is the sense of spontaneity, simplicity and wantonness that comes from being completely "at one" with the camera.
With her unconventional beginnings, as an entirely self-taught photographer, it"s a real achievement that this young talent was recently featured on the cover of the prestigious American Photo magazine.
Since launching her career via photo-sharing sites on the internet, Miss Aniela accrued over a million views within months before going on to secure her first solo exhibition.
Three years on and she is selling her work as fine-art limited edition prints through galleries and art fairs as far afield as Madrid and Miami.
'Neurotica' will be on show at the Impure Art Gallery, 13 Ship Street Gardens, Brighton, BN1 1AJ, from 4th July to 30th August.
The gallery will be open Wednesday to Saturday, 12-6pm, and Sunday 12-5pm. For more information please visit www.impureart.com
