About the artwork
This photograph by Olivier Maynard presents a composition that is both organic and abstract. Two elongated, sinuous, shell-like forms emerge from a dark, textured background. Their surface, marked by folds and crevices, evokes a material in mutation, oscillating between the mineral and the living.
Here, Olivier Maynard explores the boundaries between the real and the imaginary through an aesthetic that plays on the ambiguity of forms.
Expert opinion
This contemporary still life is reminiscent of experimental photography, in which Olivier Maynard seems to be exploring image manipulation processes, whether through digital retouching, chemical alterations or work on the material of the print.
About the artist
Olivier Maynard is a French photographer. After graduating from the Beaux arts de Sète in sculpture, it was at stockings that he began to understand volumes, light and composition. In 1992, he graduated from the ETPA photography school in Toulouse and began a career as an advertising, food and corporate photographer. It was only thirty years later that he changed his field of play to devote himself to art. His photos, which sublimate the talents and trades of others, become, by and for themselves, works of art, and now take their place in galleries. Such is the case with his "Color&Food" exhibition, which was shown in his studio in Sète, as well as in a gallery in Luxembourg.
