ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The French poet Paul Valéry said that the depths are in the skin. These images, part of a long series of photographs taken throughout many years, show this essential quality of the elements, their wrinkled profoundness: the beauty of the Earth's textures.

If we look closely enough and erase the contours of the figures, we no longer see the objects, but its abstract reality. The horizon and the lines of the landscape have been removed: here, in the very heart of the matter, we can admire the delicacy of Nature's artistry; her most intricate and wonderful patterns...

Fire, water, earth and air.

Textures of the Earth invites you to contemplate the nuances of wavelets and ripples, the transparencies of autumn leaves, the colors of the stones' strata, the purple-hued veils of the dusk or the polychromatic arabesques of lichens... Nature's palettes.

There is a close relationship between these photographs and the art of modern painting: the blazing colors of J.M.W. Turner's sunsets and sunrises, the watery textures of Monet's impressionism, or the earthy materials of Tapies' or Zao Wu Ki's abstract expressionism... This exhibition is also homage to these painters.
