About the artwork
This photograph shows the facade of an illuminated office building. The composition is based on an architectural grid, formed by the frames of the many windows that reveal workspaces of varying moods. Each office, lit differently, offers a small scene of life: empty desks, chairs still in place, a few silhouettes of workers. The ensemble creates a luminous mosaic, where the repetition of frames and light sources generates a hypnotic, almost abstract effect. Olivier Maynard's work is a reflection on the urban landscape and the human condition in the workplace.
Expert opinion
This photography oscillates between documentary realism and an aesthetic approach, offering both a sociological and poetic reading of the contemporary world.
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.
