Presentation
Yvan Philmer - The happiness of living
Photographer, poet and author of plays, this painter recreates a society that belongs only to him, where imaginary characters are driven by an unspeakable need for love.
Flickering buildings, garlands, lights, birds, a man riding on a street lamp, acrobats, travellers, show an infinite tenderness in this universe with the past and symbolic character, which counts on the deformations for to release a real vibratory current. But without anamorphosis, with the desire to exalt love and freedom in a space where couples display their happiness.
The openness of color in the service of a very rich iconography exacerbates this phenomenon of expressionist radiance and deformations that ultimately stimulate good humor and humanity. And these full and flamboyant images can be decoded as a projection in the whimsical landscape of Philmer who cultivates a secret garden, populated by deliberately happy people.
