INFORMATIONS SUR LE BAGROUND

Douglas Busch est né en 1951 à Miami et vit désormais à Malibu. L’artiste a nommé sa nouvelle série de photographies portant sur la mer "Silent Waves". Vagues silencieuses. A partir de 2003 et grâce à la photographie numérique, il capture, avec une perfection rare, les moments dramatiques nés de la rencontre éternelle entre l’eau et la lumière. Ses photos semblent naître d’elles même et diffuser leur essence méditative naturellement. Il est cependant rare de pouvoir témoigner de représentations de la nature aussi contradictoires, réalisées grâce aux techniques les plus modernes et chargées d’émotions aussi pittoresques à la fois. Les images de Busch évoquent la peinture abstraite de Mark Rothko. Elles plaisent tant car elles transforment les jeux de l’eau et de la lumière en des compositions de couleurs fragiles et sensuelles.


« Ses photographies aux nuances délicates  sont en rupture avec ce que nous connaissons de la photographie contemporaine. Le rendu est plus proche de la peinture que de la photographie. » Thomas Schirmböck, conservateur du musée de Mannheim en Allemagne.
