Bjørn Sterri: Family Photographs, 2001-2015

Sponsored by Olivia & Pres Garrett, Ben Gravely, Shana & Japhet LeGrant, Lynwood Artists and Barbara & Guy Stanley. This exhibit was organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

This exhibit is comprised of 14 framed photographs by Norwegian artist Bjørn Sterri. From 2001 to 2023, Sterri photographed his wife Alejandra and their sons Jens Linus and Pablo to create an achingly beautiful chronicle of connection, change, and growth. Drawn from the first fifteen years of this work, this exhibit conveys the emotional complexity of the passage from childhood to adulthood, the challenges and joys of partnership and parenthood, and the tension between individual identity and family structure.

This exhibit was organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and curated by Dr. Sarah Kennel, Aaron Siskind Curator of Photography and Director of the Raysor Center.
