Patrick Van Roy

Born in Ixelles, December 29, 1972. Photographer guided by pleasure. The moment is exposed, the gaze then arises. The eye breaks it down and, for pleasure, freezes the pause. It is the pleasure that guides the eye. When the pleasure begins, the moment appears and the image, of itself, is built. 1998 Sous les revers - Association of short texts by Bérénice Teheux and black & white photographs 1998 Mon coeur - Sound pictorial installation combining photographs, sound & electronics (33x33x33cm) 1998 Graphic report on the work of the architecture studio V + 1999 EMMA - 4 black & white slides projected on the ground on a sugar square (400x100cm) 1999 Obviously - Sound pictorial installation combining photographs, sound & electronics (80x80cm) 1999 Finally, I will never eat alone again - Bar table inserting color photographs ( 100x385cm) 2000 The race - Sound pictorial installation combining photographs, sound & electronics (20x280cm) 2000 Us 3 - Metal plate, 96 slides and light box (25x40cm) 2000 Participation in the MAP project - Pianofabriek 2000 [behind this wall] - Photograph installations large formats on site 2001/13 Unintentional staging - series of large format color photographs (100x100cm) - National Theater / Bruxell es - gallery 1/1 / Bruxelles - Special mention Belgium FNAC European photography award 2004 - Galerie Bortier / Bruxelles - Millenium Images / London - Biennale La Cambre Architecture 2008 / Bruxelles - Galerie Antonio Nardone / Bruxelles - Photo Collection / Paris - Zoom Gallery / Bruxelles - Boutographies / Montpellier - KPS / Kaunas - AAF / Bruxelles - Galerie Petits Papiers / Bruxelles - Constantini Gallery / Turin - Lux Festival / Lucca - Parenthèses / Toulouse 2002 Temporary added value - postcards - SuperMarket - Brussels 2002 Diamant - series of color photographs and posters (50x50cm) - Usagexterne gallery - Brussels 2003 Freeway - series of color photographs - private collection / Antwerp 2003 we are all angels - series of color photographs 2003/05 nocturnal perspectives - series of color photographs - (120x120cm) - Benoot Gallery / Ostende & Knokke - FAWA private exhibition / Bruxelles - Galerie Bortier / Bruxelles - Belgian winner of the FNAC eu prize ropéen de la photographie 2005 / Arles - H2O Towers / Bruxelles 2004 Duos de Mode - Photographic installation on the work of stylist Demna Gvasalia 2005 Portraits of personalities for the Galerie Usagexterne - Brussels 2010/11 urban perspectives - series of color photographs - (110x110cm) - Galerie Petits Papiers (Bruxelles Stories) / Bruxelles 2009/14 Warning - series of color photographs - H2O Towers / Bruxelles - La Médiatine / Woluwé - La Centrale Électrique (Groupshow) / Bruxelles - BIP / Liège - Galerie Antonio Nardone / Bruxelles - Intersections / MRAH / Bruxelles - Center WB / Paris - Places-commun / Namur - Lacontemporanea / Turin - Wunderkammer / Le Botanique - Lumen Prize / London - Wunderkammer / Venice Biennale - Emmeotto Gallery / Rome - Wunderkammer / Academia Belgica, Roma - Hongqiao Museum , Shanghai - Galerie Hors-Champs / Paris - Cut Log / Paris - Royal Museum of Art and History, Brussels 2013/16 Head in the Clouds - Laureat du Prix Louis Schmid t / Bruxelles - Laureat of the Prix des Arts de Woluwé St Lambert / Bruxelles - Galerie Antonio Nardone / Bruxelles - I Belgi, Barbari e Poeti / Bruxelles & Rome - 10 Belgians on the Mountain / Brussels.
