ABOUT
Franco Deleo’s photography is as concerned with the mediums of social practice and painting as it is with the techniques of photography. His focus on collaboration and care, as well as his references to art historical portraits and classical poses are exemplified in two recent bodies of work. Through deep engagement with his subjects, the Italian-Canadian photographer explores tensions of sexuality and tradition, interior and exterior, and vulnerability and strength in his exhibition “Homecoming”. “Homecoming” is part of the Contact Photography Festival.
