Jacques COURTEJOIE
-
We present Jacques Courtejoie's photographs from the last 20 years of his production, from his large silver prints of the late 1980s to the enhanced Polaroids of 2008. Each photograph is unique, and the result of several successive photographs, montages and collages, the final copy of which is enhanced by hand with coloured pencils and inks. From his decadent universe emerges a subtle eroticism, a nostalgia for lost loves and a poisonous ambivalence where the profane and a hijacked religious iconography mingle.
