Splashlight to Debut Images from India by Award Winning Photographer and Marc Ecko Enterprises VP of Interactive and New Media, Peter Ruprecht
NEW YORK, June 26 PRNewswire — Angkor award-winning photographer and Marc Ecko Enterprises executive Peter Ruprecht has partnered with Splashlight to debut his "Monadic Nomad" collection. Splashlight will host a star-studded gala on July 29th at its new headquarters in SoHo.
The Monadic Nomad — "A Journey of Chance" collection will be on display through September at Splashlight in its brand new 60,000 square foot space in Soho.
The exhibition features 40 color and black-and-white images that were taken on Ruprecht's journey across India in late fall 2006. Notable collectors of Peter's work include The Marley family in Miami, as well as Marc Ecko, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Marc Ecko Enterprises.
Ten percent of all proceeds from the sale of the work will benefit charity: water, a non profit providing water to people in developing countries. The collection will specifically fund freshwater wells and sanitation projects in India. Recognized for its work around the globe, charity: water has garnered national press coverage, celebrity endorsements and corporate support.
"By consciously excluding historical references, Peter composes images that transcend time. His photographs are less bound by material references to particular eras," said world-renowned travel photographer James Whitlow Delano. "As a result, his compositions engage the viewer in direct relationship with his human subjects. The forms, lines and colors become organic elements enhancing the subjects. Even perspective and motion are endowed with intrigue and mysticism. "
The "Monadic Nomad" collection will feature one-of-a-kind pieces printed on handmade paper from Nepal, as well as environmentally safe canvas. The eclectic combination of images and printing processes will convey the complex mix of sights and sensations that Peter experienced while on his journey and capture the spiritual, mystical essence of India's exotic culture. Images will be available for presale at http://www.ruprechtstudios.com.
The invitation-only opening party will feature cuisine inspired by the country. The press preview will take place on July 29 from 6-8 pm.
Splashlight Soho is located at 1 Hudson Square, on the corner of Varick and Canal Streets.
The public will be able to view the collection free of charge Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm through the end of September. For more information about Splashlight, please visit: http://www.splashlight.com.
