Presentation

There are photographers who tame the shadows to better highlight the objects and forms of urban space. This is the case of Guillaume Chevallard, a photographer and graphic designer from Lyon, an explorer of lines, who never ceases to explore new playgrounds under their most abstract aspects.

Thwarting perspectives, rounding off angles, following vanishing lines without going off on a tangent, his vision propels us into a universe where urban aesthetics is combined with the dreaminess of modern times. His field of predilection does not stop at ground zero.

It is in the meanders of a city with variable geometry, in the movement of a body, or simply in a moment of the daily life that he finds his inspiration, revealing the light and the zones of shade of a scene in chiaroscuro, of which he seizes the transience and the versatile wanderings, in the manner of David Lynch, Pierre Soulages or Edward Hopper.

He juggles between black and white and color, developing new visual suggestions that carry meaning and intensity. In constant search of a refined aestheticism like a first-timer in search of a new path, he explores new photographic concepts as shown in his latest series entitled "evaporation".

An original way to transcend the image and where the characters melt in a harmonious way in the decor and its colors. His paradigm of a world in chiaroscuro thus takes shape. The work of the blur, to get out of the frame, to make the angles breathe, to seize this breath of freedom, where the color is diluted, the subject blurred, the light soaked like a watercolor.

But always give this impetuous direction to our glance until the heart of the image, like an ineluctable target. The framing is a work of goldsmith, precise, uncluttered with any element that would distract the eye from the essential and that the contrast comes to support. We are caught, sucked into the image, as if caught in a hypnotic maelstrom.
