His name: Jérémie Nassif. His exhibition is at the Galerie Rachel Hardouin. It is titled: Home Cooked Nudes. It is accompanied by this text.
Using a light box or a beam of light that he gives to his model, Jérémie Nassif, in his latest series, Home Cooked Nudes, confronts reality and Impressionism, seeking only to show the nature and grace of the human form. Light becomes painting.
A worthy heir to the research of the Surrealists who experimented with light painting in the 1930s, Jérémie Nassif dares to create an anachronistic combination of Alexey Brodovitch and Robert Mapplethorpe. Nothing less!
The artist combines the art of capturing movement with the rendering of sublime skin texture, all printed using the Piezography technique on Japanese bamboo fiber paper. The completely expanded exposure invites the viewer to reconsider the present moment.
What “present” are we talking about: the present tense or “the present,” as the Anglo-Saxons call a gift? What if the series of home-cooked nudes was simply a declaration of love?
A man’s message to the women he meets and chooses to photograph, as if to seal a new friendship through a creation?
“The woman who dies in my book bears witness, to the man she is forced to leave, to what is perhaps the rarest thing between men and women: brotherhood.” Interview of Romain Gary. Clair de femme. Gallimard. 1979.
Jérémie Nassif lives and works in Paris. A photographer on film sets, he learned the rigor of silent capture at the age of 18.
