International Digital Artist Laurence Gartel is about to reveal his latest "Fetish series" to the European cultural community.
Gartel: Fetish
The opening vernissage will take place FRIDAY APRIL 19th, from 7 -10PM.
FETISH may be Gartel's most provocative work to date, as it examines human
behavior, asking questions about sexuality, and eroticism in the new
millennium. The images probe elements from our culture that reveal individual
cravings and desires, always with the artists's signature humor and zest for
life.
