The Flash (Back) exhibition is showing large format prints of images produced by Trisha Groves from 1980 to 2000 on three themes: the very kitsch ballroom dancers in Thatcherite England, an amazing gallery of portraits of animals, and a collection of artists and celebrities photographed with a touch of pop realism and typical British humour that defines her style.
Trisha Groves , a British photographer living in France, works mainly for the press and advertising. At the end of the 1970s, she studied photography at the University of Westminster in London then produced various photo-reportages in the United Kingdom that defined her approach to photography mixing social sensitivity, colour and humour. Some years later she moved to Paris, where she opened her own studio in the Batignolles neighbourhood and worked for magazines. Then she moved on to magazine covers, CD sleeves, celebrity portraits as well as many advertising campaigns.
Nowadays, she devotes herself to her personal photographic projects and her exhibitions. Her animal portraits were recently shown at the Galerie des Nouvelles images of the Hôtel Scribe in Paris and her book Flash (Back), an anthology of her analogue work from which this exhibition is taken, has just been published by Nouvel Opéra.
