“The City of God” at Hal Samples Gallery
Photography and video by
Hal Samples and Hugo Elias
Artist reception on Saturday, May 3rd, 6-10pm
Performance by Florene at 9pm

During his five trips to Brazil, Hal was able to focus his lens on the most beautiful parts of Brazil’s culture as well as the disquieting problems with crime and poverty that the country faces. These portraits of Brazil are quiet moments of truth amidst a flurry of color and action.

Hugo was living on a beach in Rio de Janeiro for 19 years when he and Hal Samples met. Neither man spoke the other’s language. Through their time together in the city, Hugo was introduced to photography and inspired by Hal’s passion for it.

Hal Samples will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have about the installation or his time in Brazil. Denton band, Florene, will preform at 9pm in the space above the gallery.

Hal Samples Gallery and Space Studio are located at 2814 Main St. (#101 and #201)
