HOT SPOTS

 

Du 18 Juillet au 12 Septembre se tient à la Galerie Jean Denis Walter à Parisune expostion de photographie de surf regroupant les oeuvres de 3 talentueux photographes : Ben Thouard, Corinne Dubreuil et Tommy Schultz.

 
 

Corinne Dubreuil consacre une grande partie de sa carrière au tennis. Elle s’est toujours intéressée au sport pour le raconter a sa manière. Depuis peu, elle est tombée amoureuse de la Côte Basque à Biarritz et présente un travail intimiste et très poétique.

 
 

Le photographe français Ben Thouard, quant à lui, a grandi dans le sud de la France. Son père, marin, lui a tout appris concernant les océans. Cette éducation en totale connexion avec la nature et plus particulierement la mer, a très vite donné le ton a ce qui allait être sa vie.

 
 

Il s’est interessé à la photographie des l’âge de 15 ans et après sa formation a Toulon et a Paris, c’est tout naturellement qu’il s’est spécialisé dans les sports aquatiques. Il est aujourd’hui installé a Tahiti et est devenu l’un des photographes les plus brillants du monde du surf.

 
 

Le photographe américain Tommy Schultz a demarré véritablement sa carrière photographique en indépendant en 2007, en se basant aux Philippines après avoir travaillé pour de nombreuses organisations a but non lucratif.

 
 

Désormais installé à Bali, la photographie de surf est devenue sa passion. Il travaille pour de nombreux magazines et sur de grands projets pour des clients a travers le monde.

 

A voir à la Galerie Jean Denis Walter 56, Bd de La Tour Maubourg, 75007 Paris, du 18 juillet au 12 septembre 2017.

En Juillet et Septembre, du lundi au samedi. En Août, du mardi au samedi de 11h à19h

For many years, the art of surfing was practiced primarily by men. Female faces were too few. Lately, and thankfully there has been a shift with the new generation of shapers and surfers. Saioa Lorentz & Janire Gonzalez, born and raised in the Basque Country, where the mountains fall into the sea, are part of this change...

Surf shape meets art. This collaboration was born with the idea of using a surfboard as a moving medium for visual art.

Over the course of history, different groups of human beings have regarded the sea as a wild sanctuary. A place where one world ends and another begins. They have made rituals out of bathing in it, soaking in its nutrients, absorbing its energy, and coming out feeling more alive, more connected, more free.
If only all of those people knew what it feels like to take off on a wave.

To me, one of the best things about surfing is the fact, that it leads you to places where you wouldn’t have been to without it. Incredible wildlife, deserted streets, endless desolate beaches, charming shops you had not entered if you wouldn’t have needed surf wax again. This time the journey led us first to South Africa and later also to Namibia. Two countries, which doubtless offer some of the best waves in the world, but in my view so much more.

I live in Tofino BC, on the very edge of the west coast of Canada. I’ve grown up as an islander, always surrounded by the ocean, and fell in love with surfing these past few years. Canada has a small surf scene that is constantly growing and changing.
