Thierry Genay, graduate of the Fine Arts School of Bordeaux, lives and works in Toulouse, France.
«His photographic compositions, are inscribed with in the continuously renewed history of still life.
A work that mirrors modes of life, an everyday reality, illuminated by a reflexion, humanist or spiritual, upon the harmony of nature, yet always with an echo of intimacy.
A cabinet of curiosities composed of simple crafted objects and the seasonal fruits of nature.
Moments captured in a domestic universe, where photographic and pictorial matters coalesce, where silence and simplicity leave latitude for the imagination, where elementary forms recall the abstract.
It is a work that subtracts rather than adds.
It is a light, preferably a northern light.
A silent beauty, precisely orchestrated, an expression of a tranquil equilibrium between forms and materials, between fullness and emptiness, between what could be seen and what cannot be seen».
