    Description

    At the Soulages museum in Rodez, this solitary tree planted along this steel wall attracted me.
    I felt that he had something to transmit to me, a message.

    This photo is also presented in a larger format 120x96 cm in 8 copies at the price of 3238 $ unframed and 160x128 cm in 5 copies at the price of 4571,43 $ unframed

    This image is taken from colour negative film with a medium format Mamiya 7 medium format camera. The negative is then scanned and reworked with Photoshop software. The resulting file is presented as large format pigment prints, 120 or 160 cm, on baryta paper.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Somewhere between dreams and playfulness, Alain Longeaud's work has been built over years, like a grand book of images and stories... Seductive, fascinating even, the work is deeper than it may appear. We think we see something, defined, recognisable, suggested, but in fact it is a sensation, a thought which, born in the eye, diffuses through the mind.
    We are captured between light and composition: nothing is stable, behind the horizon of apparently inconsistent aesthetics, we are to read another story. An attempt to transgress reality without denying it. The artist acts not as a guide... even though a path between mood and humour is offered in the titles he gives to his images.
    Images, mirages. A rivalry of reality and dreams? Rather, complementarity, complicity. Requiring the collaboration of the viewer, who is willing to follow the intrigue of Alain Longeaud's work. Decidedly graphic, it is essential that they be aesthetic. Though photographic of course, they are also manifestly cinematographic. Moreover, there is myth, drama and fate in his work. And the absurd! As such, the place is of no consequence, the photograph is not meant to describe it.
    Images, characters. Essence, presence-absence, permanence? Alain Longeaud aims to create a metaphysical image of the world. Behind the mundane, the apparently normal, strangeness lurks in shadows and mirrors, landscapes dissimulate figures. A rare silhouette, precisely depersonalized. Yet life is of the essence. Alain Longeaud celebrates it in his own way with as much serenity as poetry, with images void of human beings but never of humanity. Perhaps to express Yearning. For each to recognize their own...
    Patrick Le Fur, Art critic
    I like to quote Gerhard Richter : “I do not obey any intention, any system, any tendency… I like uncertainty, infinity and permanent insecurity“.
