Thierry VALENCIN (1962) - Lot 307

Thierry VALENCIN (1962) Nude, Camargue, 2021 Silver print On back, artist's stamp and signature Dimensions including margins: 24 x 18 cm Note: In this intimate, deliberately blurred photograph, Thierry Valancin explores the female body as a sensitive presence rather than a descriptive subject. The tight, almost abstract framing transforms the forms into landscapes of light and shadow, where the silver material plays an essential role. The blur doesn't erase the body: it suggests it, making it tactile, fragile, almost spectral. Produced in the Camargue region of France, this image is a dialogue with the wind, nature and the gradual blurring of contours, evoking a silent sensuality far removed from any frontality. The work is part of an investigation into the trace, perception and memory of the gaze.
