Abstract Distractions (en duo avec Paul De Blieck)

Galerie Opium, Pattaya

 

 

 

All photographs shown here were taken in Juliette de Salle’s home, or a few yards from where she lives. Indeed, any subject can be turned into art. Juliette’s photographs are driven by a powerful sense of aesthetics tending to abstraction. Yet, they manage to capture the unrevealed as well as the fragility of what we see before our eyes for that instant in time just before we go on our way, or just before the object fades away.

"Everything has its beauty - but not everyone sees it", Confucius.
Juliette de Salle is an artist who finds inspiration through the lens of a camera. She sees beauty and visualises her photography by looking at the most mundane of objects. She says "The camera can draw out remarkable and strange images that the naked eye sometimes cannot see." She looks beyond the obvious, she sees patterns, and textures in such things as broken drinking glasses. It’s important for her to reduce the scene; employing close-ups and the use of short focal lengths, so as to make the "recognisable almost unrecognisable".
