Through salient black-and-white photography, Hemingway captures the delicate interplay between beauty and the somber. His images offer an exquisite meditation on the juxtaposition of time-honored icons and rituals, as they are experienced through movement and the body

Angels With Dirty Faces reveals itself as a theatrical journey in which individual figures – including Marina Abramović, Yves Tumor, Mariacarla Boscono, and Lewis G. Burton – alongside collective subjects, embody the many counterpoints that shape our humanity and spirituality.

Inheriting the visionary spirit of Andy Warhol and Joel-Peter Witkin, Hemingway continues a lineage of exploration into charged, thought-provoking iconography, navigating the space between the sacred and the profane with both reverence and provocation.

‘These are creatures of culture, drunk on lust and freedom. With clenched fists and sleepless eyes, they are completely full of life. Birthed from the darkness, collectively they show the dichotomies in all of us: strength and resistance, vulnerability and beauty. I think of them as angels, each with a secret of their own.’ Jordan Hemingway

Angels With Dirty Faces marks Hemingway’s first public exhibition in Paris in five years, and his first solo presentation in the city. The notable photographer has amassed a creative portfolio including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Gucci, Comme des Garçons, Mugler, and Acne Studios. His ongoing creative dialogue with FKA twigs has further shaped a practice that positions him among the most compelling image-makers of his generation.
