GAT-ART

     Born in the south of France in Nîmes in 1977, he now lives in one of the largest cultural metropolises in Europe in Marseille. After a Master in STAPS and a few years of teaching, he turned to author photography in 2009.

From  from a family of amateur photographers, he participated  very young working on development and expansion in his parents' photo lab. Initially practicing film photography with a fujica, he went digital in 2008.

​

     In 2009, he presented for the first time  his work to the public  on the occasion of an exhibition in a restaurant in Aix, then in a gourmet restaurant in Marseille.

Encouraged by a positive reception from the public, he pushes for the first time the doors of a gallery in 2010, and meets GAT, painter, who manages his own gallery.  "  GAT ART  " in Marseille.

     Follower  of graphic and refined compositions, his work mainly in black and white, is built according to  spontaneous and unexpected situations, preferring to capture the present moment to staged situations.  As a true autodidact, the topics covered or  his choices  of framing are only guided by his emotions and the energy that emanates from them.

      In this perspective, the series  Twists of Time  " and "  Alone  »  evoke for us the notion of passage, passage of Being in its  built or natural environment.  At the discretion  from their experience or their sensitivity, everyone can imagine a moment of life, a memory, a retreat, or a more anthropological or metaphysical vision of our passage.  Return to oneself, to the essential, in a society in perpetual agitation and acceleration.

      Not imposing any theme, the subtlety of black and white can orient it  both to travel photographs and close to home on the Le Castellet racing circuit.
