ALAIN GALET
LIGNES DE FUITES
Digital painting and photography

Opening February, Thursday 28th from 5PM.
Exhibition from February 28th to March 16th 2013.

"Figures of Flight, vanishing points."
Human silhouettes opal-hued and phantom-like, in flight, in variously composed scenes...they draw the eye deeply into the scene, beyond the image, pulling the viewer in, toward the distant, in slow motion...the picture disturbs with a world on the verge of implosion, where the only way out for the human is flight.

This new series of photo-pictures* and digital painting by Alain Galet is a paradigm for the contemporary world. Man, his body, and his physical sensations are at the center of these photo-pictures*...arranged in an unforgiving environment.

Alain Galet makes his digital photography a plastic material, something to be triturated and retouched, creating electronic painting. Photography is the stuff [or matter, or paint], the color [or pigment], and the binder of these images. It is a technique proudly on display. It is an image concealing none of its pixels and proclaiming its method of creation: edited, mounted, reality retouched. It is a new photographic form rebelling against conventional photographic "realism."
