 
Alfredo Esparza's black and white photographs draw on the viewers' desire for human warmth and intimacy by placing lonely human figures in settings that evoke the alienating conditions of modernity. Esparza's compositions are structured around heavy geometric spaces. Stark lines, cast by shadows and water, dominate many of his photographs. In others, alienating architectural spaces and modern settings emphasize the isolation of a single person, or increase the impression of distance between two people. Esparza's photographs invite the viewer to take refuge in the human figures set amidst these cold spaces of modernity. His subjects are treated delicately and sensually, the soft warmth of their forms emphasized all the more by their jagged surroundings.
This is Esparza's first exhibition outside his native Mexico – where four solo exhibitions in 2007 testify to his growing success. This is indeed a terrific opportunity to witness an exciting young artist who will only become more important as his talents develop.
