Presentation

Franck Boucher was born in France in 1976 into a family of artists in which he enjoyed a happy childhood in the Pyrenees. At the age of eight, his father gave him his first camera.In 2003, following an accident which left him partially amnesic, his doctor advised him to take pictures every day of his life in order to better remember the day before. 

From then on, photography will prove to be a very effective help for Franck Boucher. Faced with such a result, he begins to use his camera to serve others in great difficulty. For three years, he produced a series called Excluded Landscapes - a project rewarded by his nomination as national winner of the 2006 Youth Challenge, awarded by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, then moved on to the Life Storyboard project.

Completed in 2008, this project has since been recognized by the world of photography and the arts as a unique testimony, both in substance and in form, to speak of a serious and at the same time so common subject. Based on a photo report made during a round-the-world trip with his son suffering from Williams and Beuren syndrome, Franck Boucher produced 14 works entitled "Le voyage de Sacha".

This work marks a turning point in the photographer's career: from this research it combines reportage images and pictorial creation. In 2017, the artist was commissioned by the Scientific Institute of Wine and Vine 5 large-format pieces as well as a permanent exhibition of 40 photographic pieces between deconstruction and recreation of reality.

What can become of a photo? What can be its role? Does it remain a photograph when it is modified, cut out and reassembled with others? Or does it then become a new pictorial work? Work on memory, recollection, time and the presence of man in a multiverse of space and time are the inspirations of Franck Boucher.

Franck Boucher creates works on the fine line between photography and painting, works that the artist decomposes and recomposes like the painter in front of his easel, around themes as vast as nature and danger. What does man and digital technology represent, the desire for renewal and the very topical? What if love won over fear? ...

Storyteller through the art of the marvelous and the fragility of the world, Franck Boucher's photo-graphics inspire awareness of responsibility in pictorial subtlety.
