Les 4 Collage

For several years now I have been collecting old photos and more particularly "snapshots », Family snapshots. I used them by diverting them with additions of texts like the photo novels to produce a book edited by La Compagnie des Snapshoters and posters that summers glued to Semur en Auxois, Tarbes and Paris. At the same time, I continued to work on materials brackets: rusty metal; zinc; tin cans (series "on zinc"; "tin-lights"; "cans bright ”). By trying to stiffen my zinc supports from the recovery of old gutters and which had a tendency to curl, I tested small 8x8cm formats by folding the edges, suddenly I got frames and that gave me the idea of ​​mini zincs. Snapshots are the Most of the time small and the 8x8cm format suits them very well! I created the first ones at the end of 2018 with always the same process: a photo or part of an old photo glued on the zinc plate then varnished and then additions of acrylic paints. I take it lots of fun, fun looking for photos and ideas of color surfaces as I go apply it and have the pleasure of exchanging photos with collector friends ... I like dripping, monochrome, the effects of materials, scratching and smoothing in these colored surfaces, I have fun to quote painters who inspire me.
