Last month it was Keiichi Nitta's first solo exhibit at Go Gallery in Milan. Now it's his first sold US exhibition at Constant Gallery in LA. The show opens 09.06 and runs through 09.20.08.

"The Constant Gallery is pleased to present I Think Japanese People Should Be More Open, the first U.S. solo exhibition by Japanese photographer Keiichi Nitta.

"Nitta is widely known as the right-hand man to renowned photographer Terry Richardson. Based in New York City in the six years he spent with Richardson, Nitta absorbed all that his international exploration engulfed him with: transcultural notions of beauty, fetishism of fashion and sexuality, and ultimately his inherent ability to grip moments in time to capture images that are unmistakably Keiichi. His images do not reside within the usual preconceived contexts of photographic notions—rather, they are caught in forms of space and time, where (and when) eroticism does not need to equate to sex, beauty can be both relative and irrelevant, and his own reflections captivate instant relations with the viewer."

Don't forget the opening party from 6-9 pm on 09.06.08. The gallery is located at 2673 S. La Cienega Blvd in LA.
