The Discerner Christophe Demaitre In question of the artistic direction assumed by Christophe Demaitre, one faces a dilemma. The paradox of photographic imagery derived from a near nomadic lifestyle and whose content appears near centrically oriented to the urban experience and consequent alienation of humanity, and that of a process orientation wherein the artist shatters formalistic boundaries and discards pre-deliberation amidst the chaos of creation. His attention to material and adaptation imbue the oeuvre with a Neo-Dadaist spirit & serve to engage the viewer as he confronts facile dichotomies and roles attributed to documentary and lyrical, poetical photography. “Cross Over” - £1900 Photo emulsion on canvas 90 x 75cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair “Gobi Dessert” - £4500 Photo emulsion on canvas retouched 170 x 130cm “En Attendant” - £2500 Photo emulsion on aluminium 120 x 80cm “Underground” - £2500 Photo emulsion on canvas retouched 120 x 80cm E: [email protected] W: cdemaitre.wordpress.com For all enquiries, please contact Christophe or Celine at [email protected] or 020 7491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om 7
