Gallery Jerome de Noirmont sets from tomorrow the work of the photographer Valérie Belin, it's merging a series of female portraits sophisticated style for years 50 to flowers.
Excerpt from press release
In each of the images in this series, Valérie Belin was applied to create an equivalence in the image of women and flowers, working through both the addition of forms and subtraction of information. Women and flowers are thus given equal importance and equal status of pure decoration. This escalation of scenery seems to place the image in a completely formalist aesthetics, the subject is hidden by the effects of style.
Throughout his career, the artist has challenged the boundaries between real and virtual, since Lenses (1993) and Venetian mirrors I and II (1997) until Models (2003 ) Models and Métis (2006), within the general framework of an investigation on the limits of photography. His photographic works have always had a surreal, obtained by optical effects or oversizing of the topic. In his recent series as Lido (2007) or the Crowned Heads (2009), the artist chose subjects with a strong image, a strong power of representation, qualities highlighted in treatment totally dreamlike portrait of grace to new technologies and different depending on the series.
Valérie Belin, Black-eyed Susan until 27.01.2011
