PAOLO PELLEGRIN



This last week I was able to catch a few individual & group shows. This one featuring PAOLO PELLEGRIN was held at the "Hose of Art" on SNP in Bratislava. Paolo has some very compelling work documenting major areas of suffering in the world. The photos were large format, high contrast and "rough". What I left thinking about was - "how is it that we as humans can create so much suffering in this world?" This is a documentary of our falleness and of what Saint Paul calls a world groaning for joining into "the glorious freedom of the children of God." (Romans 8:21).
