Motoyuki Daifu, "Lovesody"

Tokyo-based artist Motoyuki Daifu debuts his first solo show at Lombard Freid Projects with "Lovesody," a portmanteau of love and rhapsody. This series of photographs chronicles the artist's affair with a young mother of two children, showcasing a series of portraits filled with energy, color, and honesty about the rewards and hardships that come with raising children. As Daifu writes:

I met her when she was only twenty years old.
She already had a two-year-old boy and was pregnant again.
I fell in love with her at first sight.
A girl - and a mother.
She had two characters in herself.
I had never met a girl like her- a girl full of motherly love.
This is our six month lovesody.

Through March 3 at Lombard Freid Projects, 518 W 19th St. For more information, go HERE.

Jon Kessler's www.glenwoodnyc.com] rel="nofollow">The Blue Period is definitely an experience. There are so many different aspects to it, you don't know how to process it all at first. The piece really works though and I would suggest that people go and see it. it's not quite the same in pictures as it is in person!
