David LaChapelle: Dear Sonja, (NCMA Winston-Salem)

February 27–July 27, 2025 ​NCMA Winston-Salem, Potter Gallery


David LaChapelle: Picture Show (NCMA- Raleigh)

March 1–July 20, 2025 NCMA Raleigh, NC 

"Acclaimed photographer and director David LaChapelle, a graduate of the High School Visual Arts Program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA), is returning to Winston-Salem to connect with students as part of his upcoming exhibition, “David LaChapelle: Dear Sonja.”


Opening on Feb. 27 at the N.C. Museum of Art(opens in new tab) (NCMA) Winston-Salem (formerly SECCA), the exhibition features over 80 works spanning 40 years of his career, which has influenced contemporary photography and visual culture. LaChapelle, who was hired by Andy Warhol to work at Interview magazine early in his career and has worked with internationally recognized figures such as Elton John, Britney Spears, Tupac and Madonna, will also meet with current High School Visual Arts students to learn about their projects, offer insights into his creative process and discuss the exhibition.​

 Dear Sonja: A Larger-Than-Life Experience at NCMA Winston-Salem

I am absolutely overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and magnitude of Dear Sonja! With over 80 prints, drawings, and videos spanning the NCMA’s two locations, this exhibit is a breathtaking tribute to David LaChapelle’s four decades of work—each piece more mesmerizing than the last.

Stepping into the space, I was instantly transported into a world of fantasy, extravagance, drama, and spirituality. LaChapelle’s larger-than-life imagery, featuring celebrities, politicians, and deeply spiritual themes, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The Jesus Is My Homeboy series left me speechless, Rape of Africa was hauntingly powerful, and Vox Populi was a thought-provoking masterpiece. Seeing these iconic works in person was an experience beyond words—truly a dream come true.

For anyone even remotely interested in art, photography, or storytelling, this exhibit is a must-see. It’s worth every mile of the road trip to Winston-Salem, and I cannot recommend it enough. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable journey into LaChapelle’s visionary world!

The Time Is Always NOW at NCMA Raleigh

The Time Is Always Now:

A little sneak peak....Featuring 23 contemporary African diasporic artists, The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure celebrates the Black figure from the perspective of Black artists, illuminating the richness, joy, beauty, and complexity of Black life.


March 7th 12pm EXCLUSIVE!

Join us for an overview of The Time Is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure with the guest curator, UK–based writer, critic, and curator Ekow Eshun. Renowned for his insights into contemporary art and culture, Eshun explores how artists in this groundbreaking exhibition reimagine the Black figure in bold and transformative ways. Gain a deeper understanding of the themes, stories, and inspirations behind this show, which challenges perspectives and celebrates creativity.

Artists Reframe the Black Figure

This collective assertion and interest in figuration and representation, examining both the presence and absence of the Black figure in art history, transcends geographical boundaries. Through their work these artists invite a shift in the dominant art historical perspective from “looking at” the Black figure to “seeing through” the eyes of Black artists and the figures they depict.

Thomas J Price, As Sounds Turn to Noise "To make this larger-than-life sculpture of a woman, Price drew on multiple sources, including 3-D scans of people in London and Los Angeles, photographs of Black public figures, and historical imagery. Price displaces honorees typically represented in public monuments, challenging notions of power and status associated with public sculpture. He raises the question: Who gets to be memorialized?"
