Description
This captivating artwork depicts a solitary gas station illuminated by bright lights beneath a striking starry sky. The artist juxtaposes the banality of the earthly scene with the vastness of the cosmos, highlighting a clear dichotomy between everyday reality and galactic dream. The imposing, luminous moon reigns supreme, enveloped in a multitude of twinkling stars and colorful nebulae, creating a mystical and otherworldly atmosphere. The station's artificial lighting, with its touches of green, contrasts boldly with the natural hues of the cosmos, symbolizing the interplay between technology and nature. This work invites reflection on our place in the universe, capturing the imagination with deceptive simplicity and infinite depth.
Presentation
Steps :
To talk about my work, you have to go back to the origins.
The 70s, with the beginning of fine photographic art, the meeting with photographers Ralph Gibson and Duane Michals both on the line of demarcation, where reality becomes abstract.
It was therefore towards a creation diametrically opposed to that of conceptual photography that I was moving towards, a creation where there is no difference between the imaginary and reality. I decided then that my photos will not show, will not explain, will not question. They will open the doors to emotions.
I like to quote Gerhard Richter: "I obey no intention, no system, no tendency.. I like uncertainty, infinity and permanent insecurity". Bio:
Even though I became interested in music at a very young age through the piano, I always felt like a photographer. Always a matter of perspective. First more on the side of black and white than color.
The meeting with Helmut Newton, whose assistant I was, opened the doors to the world of fashion where I made a career working for the main French and Italian fashion magazines.
Today visual artist photography has replaced fashion and it is no longer in magazines but in French and foreign galleries that my work is exhibited.
