STILL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER, ANTOINE KHÔL, BORN IN PARIS IN 1973, WORKS IN THE ADVERTISING FIELD (PERFUMES, FINE JEWELRY, WINES AND SPIRITS).
THE "UNTITLED" SERIES IS A LONG-TERM PERSONAL WORK, STARTED IN 2019, WHICH FEATURES PLANTS, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
EACH PHOTOGRAPHED ELEMENT IS THE SUBJECT OF A LONG OBSERVATION BEFOREHAND. IN SEARCH OF BALANCE AND HARMONY IN ALL HER VISUALS, KHÔL REVEALS PLANTS TO KEEP ONLY THE ESSENTIAL: THE DRAWING OF THEIR STRUCTURE THROUGH THEIR SILHOUETTES, TRANSPOSED INTO TWO DIMENSIONS, MOST OF THE TIME.
THE RESULT IS A REFINED AND MINIMALIST GRAPHIC STYLE, HALFWAY BETWEEN FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACTION, HALFWAY ALSO BETWEEN THE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEDIUM AND INDIA INK DRAWING.
ANTOINE KHÔL STARTED A NEW SERIES ON THE FEMALE NUDE IN 2023, TAKING THE SAME MINIMALIST GRAPHIC APPROACH IN BLACK AND BEIGE.
