About this photograph :
Bilbao
Jean-Paul Espaignet studies the aesthetic of repetition in art. His work is built around the idea of series and assemblage. The crowd theme is often repeated in contemporary art. This consideration questions the notion of anonymity but also individuality and community. Within a main composition, Espaignet inserts a multitude of framings. Each frame aims to focus on an individual or a group of individuals. Anonymous as well as being subjects themselves, the characters above all become the centre of attention in a work of art.
About the artist :
Jean-Paul
Espaignet
After thirty years in
the world of photography, Jean Paul Espaignet is testing a new artistic method based
on analysis. He collects images and exploits this ‘raw material’ by eliminating
anything superfluous. He aims to extract the very essence of what forms a shot.
This approach forms refined creations where the emphasis of a subject or action
takes priority.
