Galerie Maubert sent us this message:
It is with infinite sadness that we announce the passing of photographer Éric Guglielmi, 51 years old.
Eric was one of the gallery’s very first artists, showing his photographs of the Niger River from the third exhibition 10 years ago. He leaves behind a monumental work, he spent more than 30 years traveling the world: Europe, South America and above all in Africa. A moving and upset artist, he left photojournalism in 2002 to build long-term works, facing current affairs, allowing us to “see differently”. Faithful to his Ardennes origins, he signed two cult series about the poet Rimbaud and the Ardennes forest. His latest series Paradis Perdu takes us to the forests of the Congo Basin, the second green lung of the earth, to the Baka tribes, victims of deforestation.
