Thierry VALENCIN (1962) - Lot 306

Thierry VALENCIN (1962) Female nude, Arles, 2018 Silver print On the back, artist's stamp, signed, dated and justified reading print Dimensions: 29.5 x 21.5 cm Note: In this Nu féminin, Arles, 2018, Thierry Valencin proposes a sensitive, experimental approach to the body, which he does not describe but suggests. The figure appears veiled, almost dissolved in the photographic material, crossed by zones of shadow, light and deliberate alterations of the surface. These interventions give the image a pictorial dimension, where photography becomes a space of gestures and traces. The silver print, signed, dated and stamped on the back, bears witness to a poetic investigation into the presence, memory and fragility of the image.
