Abst-DA5-710 - Limited Edition 1 of 6 Photograph

Born in south of France in 1944. Lives and works in Roquefort Les Pins, Alpes Maritimes (France). For my personal photographic work, I always preferred to express my emotion on a subject than simply documenting it. I used first the gum and bichromate, old photographic printing that I rediscovered during 1981 to 1985 and used until 2004. Recent progress of printers, the quality of pigmented inks and papers, causing me to foresee many other possibilities, convinced me to pursue my work on the image into the digital pictures. In 2011, after a lot of work and researches with computer, digital gave me the opportunity to create my tools for my new working that I named "Pixoplasty". The original photographic image serves as a matrix of pixels for a study of matter and interpretation. The image is destructured, its original constituents are processed into a material as malleable as a clay of pixels. This serendipitous pixoplasty allows me to go further in the freedom of interpretation of sensations offered by the original subject.
