BRYAN ADAMS: Homeless

Atlas Gallery will inaugurate our exciting new collaboration with Bryan Adams through an exhibition dedicated to his series Homeless, opening on Thursday 29th of April 2021.

The Homeless portraits tell a tale of tenacity in spite of – indeed, often as a result of – adversity. They capture vendors of The Big Issue magazine who sleep rough on the streets of London, With candour and poignancy, a precious soul is revealed in each portrait, highlighting their plight and creating encounters with the potency to break down barriers caused by misconceptions and prejudice.

Whatever the life story of the subject, and however assured or vulnerable their expression and pose – each of Bryan Adams’ portraits conveys a gravity and depth, rich in humanity and always filled with dignity. Just like the man behind the photographs and all that he has dedicated his life to, the images are a stark appeal for greater compassion and more heartfelt care for the world we live in.

Adams donates his entire profit from photographic works to charity through his foundation.

On the lower floor of the gallery we will also exhibit four large format prints of Adams’  celebrity portraits, including Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss, Mick Jagger and HM The Queen.
