Landscape nominee

The "lapidaries" is a series exploring the rough energies of basalt. As a memory of a telluric era, these abstract architectures evoke all the elements : the cycle of waves, the invisible curves of wind, the flow of an incandescent lava frozen in time. The creative process of nature is limitless : these cubist structures, between uplift and collapse, are so powerful that they seems to express our own condition. They crystallised in each cracks and ridges a fragment of an ageless memory, which is also ours. Each photograph, as an engraving, reveals the light within.

Born in 1986.
Works and lives in Paris.

Quentin Guichar is a french artist-photographer who seeks to express the endless energy of our origins. Dealing with primordial elements like stone and water, he elaborates abstracts structures with thousand of raw textures, in order to reveal the inner light of the matter itself. He pushes the photographic langage to its limit,
where the detail is used to transcend reality in a very pictorial way.
