Bernard Plossu |
If there is a traveling photographer par excellence, this is Bernard Plossu.
His nomadic spirit has taken him decades to roam the planet with an open mind and the eye quickly.
Plossu works are mirrors, but at first glance may seem windows.
One is immediately caught by the mysterious aura that speaks of him and everyone.
The depth and truth that tends distill a communication channel, a fluid dialogue with the viewer who can not evade its reassuring influence.
His poetic vision of reality comes directly into creating a deep emotion of deep satisfaction.
Plossu teaches us that everything has a positive and lively, that despite the moments of desolation and loneliness, terrible, there's always a reason for hope, although it appears to be a minor point.
Throughout his career his work has evolved, incorporating all views and movements that gave us modern art.
