Exhibition of 3 portraits from my series  “Disco Chic” at PH21 Gallery Budapest – Selected following a competition for the “Significant Colour”

 Fine Art Print 30x40cm –

There are two kinds of photographs with respect to the significance of their use of colours. On the one hand, ever since colour film technology became widely available, colour has become the default in most photographic practices.

That is, some photographs are in colour not because their colours bear some special significance (compared, for instance, to their possible black and white counterparts) but simply because the available film or digital technology has long turned colour to be the common method of capturing photographic images. We may think of these photographs as colour by default.

On the other hand, colours are often central to the meaning of photographs for their emphatic, symbolic, psychological, social, compositional, etc. significance. These photographs would not work in black and white the same way or they would not work at all; that they are in colour is not merely a technological given, rather, it is an integral, formative and significant aspect of their photographic meaning. We may think of these photographs as colour by significance.

POETIC STORYTELLING

Exhibition Dates: May 20TH – June 3RD, 2023

The power of photography as a tool for storytelling lies in its ability to convey the impression that the image captured within the frame is an accurate representation of a specific moment in time. However, every narrative is inherently limited by the selective inclusion and exclusion of certain elements. This is a crucial aspect of photographic storytelling; it is not only about what is presented within the frame but also what is left out of the frame – and left to the viewer’s imagination – granting interpretive liberty (or poetic license) to both the creator and the viewer.

 

Praxis Gallery presents of photographic art that explore the development of visual narratives through a poetic lens. The stories may take any form ranging from literal depictions to fantasy or fiction, they may be complex or minimalist in approach.

EXHIBITION LOCATION: MFA’s Online Curve Gallery

Work selected for MFA’s Reflections 2023 by juror Denise Carson. Out of  610 total entries by 198 artists, I’m the one of the 50 artists selected for the online exhibitions.

 

Introducing Reflections

Reflections can appear in many different forms – they can be both literal or metaphorical. Reflections found in shop windows, still ponds, or on faces in mirrors can surprise and delight. The physical nature of light reflecting changes appearances and reveals unexpected sensations. Reflections can also be internal; emotional, cerebral, or spiritual, bringing back memories or causing new ways of thinking that could change the world or just stay personal. Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) asked artists to show us what reflection means to them. Entry was open to all artists residinginternationally. All original 2D or 3D artwork in any media was eligible for this online show. Works selected by the juror will be on display in MFA’s online gallery, Curve Gallery, from April 15 – May 31, 2023. Exhibition Chairs: Richard Niewerth and Wil Scott.

 Fine Art Print 40x60cm –

To highlight the least represented aspect of a woman: adolescence
The starting point: a doll is either a baby or a woman and there is an in-between time, a very particular moment in a woman’s life when she is not quite a child nor quite a woman.
A moment when a war rages between the past and the future. A moment when she is both in construction today of what she will be tomorrow.
The play on words is thus put forward: a teenage doll, « a doll essence ».

Re-enchanter le Monde

Exposition prévue

A travers ce thème, j’ai effectué plusieurs recherches sur le pictural dans le monde de la photographie et principalement dans le monde de la peinture. La peinture est une source inépuisable d’inspiration artistique.

Le peintre qui m’est instinctivement venu à l’esprit pour ce thème est René Magritte. Ce peintre apporte tous les éléments du rêve, du pictural, du décalé et de l’humour.

Ne disait-il pas lui-même “L’art de peindre est un art de penser“, une vérité absolue qui s’applique à notre travail et à notre approche de la photographie.

LE LAURÉAT par le Magazine PHOTO

Coup de maître pour Cvrille avec cette photo réalisée cet été, en juillet 2021, à Oeiras au Portugal.

Un projet personnel auquel il songe depuis près d’un an déjà lorsqu’il la met en scène
en collaboration avec la modèle.

Leur idée : plonger ensemble dans l’univers de David Hockney. 1 854 km plus tard, dans la piscine de la modèle, ils touchaient au but avec l’aide de Linda, et de leurs accessoires. la bouée flamant rose et un ballon de baudruche en quise de bubble gum.

Fils d’artiste peintre, photographe depuis l’âge de 14 ans, Cyrille a depuis créé son agence, Arlency, et fait de l’image son métier. Portraitiste, il envisage son travail artistique comme « de la peinture numérique » avec pour inspiration « la créativité et l’univers » de Jean-Paul Gaultier, « le regard des modèles » d’Arthur Elgort, et bien sûr tout David Hockney.»

À la place d’un pinceau j’ai un appareil photo et je construis mes œuvres en fonction de mes inspirations du moment et de l’histoire que je veux raconter ». De bout en bout il assure la direction artistique jusqu’à aboutir au «tableau photographique » parfait.

«Il y a toujours une touche d’improvisation avec une émulsion créative exponentielle, c’est ce moment d’excitation que ‘affectionne tout particulièrement. Quand tous ces ingrédients sont réunis et que l’on tient la bonne photo». Celle qui fera rêver. En 2022, on pourra découvrir ses expositions à Londres et à Saint-Germain-en-Laye (en avril) avec sa dernière série inspirée des œuvres de René Magritte : Ré-enchanter le monde.

C’est réussi !

Regards photographiques d'hier à demain

« Photographier c’est peindre avec la lumière », tel est l’angle par lequel l’artiste a choisi d’aborder son œuvre. Fils d’une artiste peintre, l’oeil de ce photographe tend inlassablement vers le pictural, invitant le spectateur à réfléchir et à observer chaque détail de ses tableaux. 

Il donne ainsi vie à un poème de l’artiste Christine Blin

En sa saison

La photo émergente

Nombreux sont les photographes qui s’interrogent sur le concept de « photo émergente ».

Qu’est-ce que la « photo émergente » ?

« Émerger », c’est « sortir d’un milieu et apparaître à la surface », ce qui, en matière de photo, revient à prendre en compte les tendances récentes.

La photo émergente, est-ce de la « photo contemporaine » ? Oui, si on entend par là une photographie d’aujourd’hui, mais pas vraiment, si on considère la dimension conceptuelle qui s’attache à cette notion où – je caricature à peine – l’enrobage avec des mots ferait presque passer la photo au second plan.

La photo émergente, est-ce alors de la « photo créative » ? À l’évidence, oui, puisqu’il s’agit d’emprunter des voies nouvelles ou de « revisiter » des pratiques anciennes.
