Talia Shipman: Exodus

For someone having graduated this past spring, Talia Shipman brings a stylized maturity to her work that other photographers spend years honing and perfecting. The young artist has already experienced her work being published and shown in galleries worldwide, and if her series, Exodus: The Ten Plagues is any indication, she has a long and bright career ahead of her. Currently on show as part of Captive Visions: Canadian Contemporary Art at Eli Klein Fine Art in SOHO, Exodus is an entirely thoughtful, sometimes macabre juxtaposition of biblical plagues with their modern-day counterparts. Definitely keep an eye out for this rising star — it looks like she’s going to be around for a while to come.
