Excerpts from the Fahey/Klein Website: "The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present the photographs of Mark Laita, in his first one-man show in Los Angeles. His exhibition, Created Equal, offers a riveting photographic essay that documents the people who make up America’s diverse culture. Presented in a diptych format, and available in three sizes including life-sized photographs, the images exert striking comparisons as they explore issues of social, economic, and gender difference and similarity within the United States." "Completed over the course of seven years, with each of the lower 48 states represented, Laita intentionally photographed his subjects against a muted backdrop avoiding unwanted influence of background elements. By extracting them from their typical surroundings, Laita asserts the idea that we are all equal and interchangeable. Created Equal is a powerful presentation that is not only visually appealing but also sheds light on notions of identity, class and lifestyle." "Mark Laita grew up in the Midwest cities of Detroit and Chicago, where he discovered photography at the age of fifteen. As a teenager he devoted all his time to photography, eventually working on a series of portraits of Chicago’s homeless people. Thirty years later that series has matured and expanded into Laita’s Created Equal. After earning a degree in photography from Columbia College and the University of Illinois/Chicago Mark built a successful commercial photography business with studios in Los Angeles and New York City."
