Marc Montméat - La croisée des chemins

Marc Montméat - La croisée des chemins
Originally uploaded by CultureInside

Marc Montméat (Winner of Paris Photo 2009) is an emerging talent taking his place in the top Art photographers.
It's not difficult to understand why.
His vision is always disturbing, showing simple ideas with simple point of view. Evident?
When I look to "la croisée des chemins" my impression is, what does Marc exactly means. Until my focus goes to the center of the photo and I see the man just at the cross of the road.
That's it, that's Marc Montméat !
This photo indeed is not a "instant shot". I suppose that it tools a long preparation to get this result. But who cares?

A PHOTOGRAPHICS IS A PHOTO WITH A SOUL OF PAINTING.

Alain Bellone takes so much freedom with his camera as a painter with his brush. It is not a question either "effects of car lights", or of " light painting "and some computer manipulations ! Everything takes place in the shooting. The idea being to join the plastic arts, Alain Bellone frees himself from conventional rules of the photography. Before printing, he adjusts the photo with the aim of stressing its pictorial character. Retouch stays an exception.

PhotoGraphics is above all a poetry of the image. Alain Bellone draws an image which wants to give to see more than to show.

. It is, on this border between the photo and the painting , there, between the reality and the dream, that Alain Bellone invites us to let our eyes reinvent his PhotoGraphics, as the children look at clouds

Oeuvres fortes car l'esprit se trouble,s'inquiète et soudain s'interroge car l'on perçoit derrière l'apparence une autre expression enfouie,d'une grande intensité à la fois subtile et éblouissante qui est l'autre face du réel présenté.

De ce que l'on avait saisi, n'émerge alors qu'une grande émotion qui engage irrésistiblement à poursuivre une autre trajectoire qui met en lumière le conflit du réel et de son envers afin que l'imagination se laisse guider sans frein,parfois vers du violent ou du suave, mais toujours vers un dépassement qui atteint l'inéffable.

Digital Art meets pointillism...

http://www.cultureinside.com/homeen/artists-espace/gallery.aspx/viewgallery/8621/89419/

Digital technique meets pointillism. Essentially, the digital tool is used by Oliver to demonstrates that the pointillism, intensively used by Seurat (i.e. La grande Jette), is still living. Here the pixelate technique is carefully used to give to the image this "pointillism" touch of Seurat.

The reference to Seurat in particular, outside "pointillism", is difficult to find. Olivier is definitively not an impressionist and its color palette far away from the pastels of Seurat.
Anyway, the most important is the demonstration that the Digital Tools are used to produce artworks of high quality level.

Too many peoples still believe that digital tools are just toys usd by amateur that pretends to be "artists".

From the artist:

"I am basically self-taught in the sense that I have not studied art formally or professionally, only participated in various workshops throughout the years. At the same time I have spent many hours reading on the history of Art and looking at pictures of great masters, hoping that some of their spirit may shine on me. In this sense I am not completely an autodidact. Art is a form of self-knowledge, for individuals who feel the urge to practice it and for society as whole when reflecting upon its own culture and institutions. As such, the process is never-ending."

The ocean, the water, one of the primitive elements which fascinates everyone. In this photo, Christine Petrou captures the beauty, the movement and the dance of the water. It looks so simple, but...

This is a series I call "capillary", because here I exploited the remarkable phenomenon of capillary attraction. This demonstrates the effects of using a soft brush and varying pressure to encourage Indian ink to disperse in sandwich with diverse kinds of Japanese papers"

Well explained ans so simple (?). Again, Brian demonstrates that mastering simple techniques can produce remarkable results.

Que dire de plus. Une technique digitale simple mais bien maîtrisée, un sujet trop souvent encore tabou pour donner une image superbe.
