CERAMIC & PHOTOGRAPHY : A POETIC DIALOGUE BETWEEN STILL LIFES
Cerises, abricots, citron sur une assiette
On the occasion of the Cezanne Year celebrated in 2025 by the city of Aix-en-Provence, I also wanted to pay tribute to him in my own way. I therefore created this photograph inspired by his painting 'Apricots and Cherries on a Plate'.
But I also wanted to incorporate a nod to Hong Kong, where I recently moved. So, I brought back ceramics from the Hong Kong artist, Ben Yau, to my home in Provence—because I admire his work—and I integrated two of his creations into the background of the composition.
The choice of printing on Mat Hahnemühle paper by the excellent Danny Chau, accentuates the pictorialist rendering of the image. You can appreciate it better when you see the photo in real life!
Current Exhibition:
This photograph and the integrated ceramics are currently exhibited in Hong Kong at Tao Tao Ceramic Studio until February 15, 2026, as part of the exhibition 'Ceramic & Photography: A poetic dialogue'. They will also be shown at the Azimuts gallery in Aix-en-Provence in the autumn of 2026.
By creating this image, I also had fun building a bridge between two arts and two cultures. I am convinced that one of the strengths of art is its ability to transcend borders and conventions, and I love creating connections.
Those who know me as the founder of Provence & You know this well.
Photography is a magnificent medium for me that I can practice anywhere in the world, and I explore it every day with the same passion.
