Pierre Carreau - Delicate Details Produced by Powerful Ocean Waves
“Fascinated by the ocean, photographer Pierre Carreau is naturally drawn to the study of waves, their essence, their movement, and their shape. All of his work features the energetic life of the ocean as it crashes onto the shores, with every painterly shot more unique than the next. Carreau believes his photographs mix power with fragility and he says, “I like the fact that this energy comes from far away to be revealed on our beaches.” Carreau is able to document the beautiful light and shadows that shine along the surface of the water, producing what appear to be delicate pieces of glass that viewers will want to reach out and touch. Capturing such perfect moments takes a lot of work, and the artist finds that he needs to take hundreds of photographs to get exactly the right moment. But, as we see in his collection of what he calls “liquid sculptures,” the hard work is totally worth it as he successfully brings to us the stunning, crystal-clear details and transparency of the powerful ocean waves.”

“The point of departure for Revolution is a nocturnal seascape. A 90° clockwise rotation turns the horizons into vertical lines, dissipating the romantic image of the night. Without changing the pictures’ material substance or subject, any obvious connotations are masked, their certainties denied by the transformation. At the same time, highly original abstract configurations emerge in their place. But it is finally the presence of the aesthetic which Sugimoto so forcefully brings to light in his new work. The process derives from conventional puzzles, but reveals in this case no new narrative moments, leading instead to hermetic compositions reminiscent of the work of American painters such as Barnett Newman.” [Museum Brandhorst]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/ab418c38ec4613254348f2768201f8ff/tumblr_mmoqe4Ol7w1qdrgo9o1_r1_1280.jpg)

I look up — many people feel small because they’re small and the Universe is big — but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. There’s a level of connectivity. That’s really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant, you want to feel like a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you. That’s precisely what we are, just by being alive… - Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson [ x ]
