Alessandro Biancheri

Born in San Remo in 1970, Alessandro Biancheri lives in Nice since 2001. The photograph artistic is the reason for this autodidact fallen into the picture when he was 17 years old. The strength of his photographs lies in the refined simplicity of his compositions.

Walking the city without a specific goal, Alessandro Biancheri seeks inspiration natural. This image hunt led him to revisit emblematic places in Nice like the diving board or the Promenade des Anglais. Urban poetry is everywhere visible, including the polluted entanglement of bridges of the expressway.

It is not easy to offer a new look on the Promenade des Anglais. That's what we offer Alessandro Biancheri. His silhouettes seized on the spot animate a landscape minimalist in black and white. His framing is immediate, guided by the vanishing lines he perceives by instinct. His account tells of this human fleetingness that punctuates the immutable horizon. Beauty enigmatic, mystery of the moment that passes like hasty or motionless shadows. Or do they run? What are they dreaming of? The artist poses a complicit glance on the Bay of Angels and carry our imagination into these life capsules.

This beauty sensor loves above all that of the woman, which he photographs naked in a geometric context and offbeat places: quarries, car-breaks, dark valleys, cages stairs or bed posidonia. It's all about harmony and contrast. The sweetness of feminine curves is magnified by the stripping of natural or industrial decorations.

Discovered by Maud Barral, Alessandro Biancheri who already sells his works to collectors, is exposed to the public for the first time at the Martin Sauvage Gallery in Nice.
