All weekend, photographers Julien Michel and Martine Huin will be present to comment on their exhibition Le Peuple du silence.
With dedications of the works of Martine Huin.
The two artists, Martine Huin and Julien Michel, have the ant as their favourite subject. Thus, from their encounter, their images were echoed by their way of approaching the tiny world from a graphic and dreamlike point of view, thanks to this discreet people of silence.
Martine Huin
Painter and photographer, Martine Huin is influenced by the visual arts and the pictorial side. Although transported by art, it is thanks to photography that she built this exhibition. Passionate about the people of silence, she wants to sublimate «this universe where each photo becomes painting». Through her photos, Martine Huin wants the human eye to admire this sometimes forgotten world.
Julien Michel
After a school of photography and a training of carpentry, Julien MICHEL decides to combine his two passions: the image and the wood.
Attached to the Vosges massif, he likes to immortalize the mountains, but also to work on more graphic themes, like ants.
He himself made the frames using the ancestral technique of burnt wood. The best known origin is the Japanese technique of shou-sugi-ban or yakisugi. It allows to protect the wood naturally!
