About the Item

Belgian photographer Isabelle Menin creates portraits of flowers that are not only gorgeous in form and color, but also uniquely expressive. Fresh blossoms and withering blooms melt into each other in dreamy washes of color and hazy drips and swirls. Hues and flowers are reflected in pools of water, as forms disintegrate and reappear in trickles and indistinct glimmers of light. The resulting images are breathtaking interplays of light and shadow, form and reflections, and breathtaking colors and textures. Looking at Menin's vibrant and organic work, it isn't surprising to learn that she has a background in painting. After working with paint for over a decade, the artist turned to digital photography instead. With rich colors, bold textures, and a stunning abstract quality, her creations look more like masterful illustrations and paintings than conventional photographs. Part of this is due to the digital manipulation that Menin loves using to transform and blend photos in order to create her beautifully moody images. Menin calls her work inland photographs and disordered landscapes in reference to the strange complexity of nature, which reminds her of human complexity. She says: The uncontrolled forces, the shapes’ complexity, the interweavings and the synergy of the elements, they all look to me like a mirror of the human spirit. We are no straight lines, we are like nature, a very large network of interferences that work together to produce something which sometimes looks accomplished and then gets destroyed in a perpetual coming and going between order and disorder. In the past five years, Isabelle Menin has had numerous exhibitions in Europe and internationally -both at art fairs and museums. These include the Belgium Modern Art Exhibition , Hongqiao Museum in Shanghai, China, OFF Art Fair – Brussels, Kunstraï – Amsterdam, MIA Fair - Milan – Italy, Setup Contemporary Art Fair, Bologna – Italy, Fotofever - Carrousel du Louvre - Paris - France , The Perception of Beauty - Group show - Sophie Marée Gallery (La Haye), Femmes de Belgique - Group Show - Sophie Marée Gallery (La Haye), and « FLORA » , Musée des Beaux-Arts, Mons, Belgium . Isabelle Menin lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.

GIULIANO BEKOR - Butterfly or Breast
By Giuliano Bekor
Located in PARIS, FR
Giuliano has made an iconic name for himself in the world of photography since launching his commercial career in New York City shooting beauty, fashion and entertainment campaigns for premiere ad agencies and the covers of global magazines. Digging deep into his subject to unearth their inherent strengths and vulnerabilities, Giuliano creates images that evoke drama and sensuality, always staying true to his unique vision. By mixing classical elements with his unparalleled and boundless imagination about modern culture, Giuliano incorporates unconventional lighting techniques in his large format visual style that result in images that force the viewer to reinterpret how they see photographs. The images evoke an emotionally raw, dramatic and glamorous style. Each work presents a narrative that takes the audience to a different dimension; one that is dangerous, addicting and often, taboo. A breathtaking melange of human forms rendered abstract with highly saturated colors, lashings of light, extreme textures and bold silhouettes. Giuliano has recently taken his photo virtuosity over to the world of fine art, creating and producing his own privately conceived shoots, while consistently building a collection of mesmerizing photographs. His 2015 participation in Salone del Mobile in Milan solidified Guliano’s reputation as an “art world favorite” Since then, galleries in Athens, Paris, New York and Los Angeles have hosted solo shows of his series/work. Giuliano will take what you need...
