I realized that I might be burning a bridge with the galleries by working for magazines, but it’s been said, “sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.” - David Lachapelle
In Deluge (2006), David LaChapelle returned to his artistic roots, marking a pivotal moment in his creative journey. Drawing inspiration from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes and Karl Bryullov’s The Last Day of Pompeii, he fused classical composition with contemporary imagery and pop culture references. Through this juxtaposition, LaChapelle explored the theme of upheaval, questioning the cyclical nature of dramatic narratives across different eras of art.
