Artist Blog
Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.
Louis Gary
Jun 21, 2018 - Alan Eglinton
For my first post, I would like to share a photographic work that Louis Gary started in 2018. His pictures intrigue and inspire me.
Born in 1982, Louis is a French visual artist. His exploration of design and figurative sculpture is both straightforward and unscrupulous; the works he thus produces are influenced by ancient statuary, the style of clear-line drawing and weird modelmakers’ tasks. His photographic practice simultaneously builds, unveils and blurs the sensitive and parallel background of his artistic approach. Louis invites contemplative, uncanny and grotesque forces so as to create spaces in which art forms, gestures and things can be seen anew.
