Biography of Isabelle Girollet \u2013 Abstract Art Photographer at Galerie Durst<\/p>\n
Isabelle Girollet\u2019s photographs highlight the beauty found in the \u201cbrutalism\u201d of urban landscapes. Drawn to photography since her teenage years, she has continued along this creative path.<\/p>\n
At 18, she began working as an assistant to photographer Olivier Dassault. She remained there for eight years, followed by about twenty years in the fields of advertising and publishing.<\/p>\n
Her works are a poetic reinterpretation of the world around us. In landscapes that may seem devoid of harmony at first glance, the artist manages to reveal their lyrical qualities.<\/p>\n
Isabelle Girollet captures angles and shapes that transfigure the subject of the photograph. A bridge becomes a lunar landscape; an automatic door transforms into a fleeting ribbon of light. This photographic abstraction offers the viewer great freedom to imagine and dream about what the subject of the photograph might be. The artist thus aligns with the spirit of the poet \u00c9mile Verhaeren, who, in The City<\/em>, unveils the treasures hidden within industrial landscapes: \u201cThey are bridges woven of iron; \/ Hurled in leaps across the air; \/ They are blocks of columns \/ Dominated by gorgon faces; \/ They are towers above the suburbs; \/ They are roofs and gables \/ Folded in flight over the houses; \/ It is the tentacular city; \u2026 Red gleams \/ that shift \/ on poles and tall masts\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Today, everything becomes a source of inspiration for Isabelle Girollet. A design object may turn into architecture, and a building\u2019s architecture may take on the form of a colored movement. Her photographs also recall the aesthetics of painting.<\/p>\n Indeed, some have described the artist\u2019s works as photographic paintings.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.galeriedurst.com\/en\/artists\/isabelle-girollet-en\/","name":"Isabelle Girollet","slug":"isabelle-girollet-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":{"image_en_avant":17238,"galerie":[4117],"text_intro":" Isabelle Girollet\u2019s photographs highlight the beauty found in the \u201cbrutalism\u201d of urban landscapes.
