It will be my gift for this new year
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," said Oscar Wilde. I make my own this sentence that reminds us that we have the leading role in our way of seeing the world, a personal interpretation marked by our stories, our education, our culture... I decided this year to place the beautiful above all things. Like a claim, a mantra or a leitmotif. A condition that would guide my steps and my photographic work simply because the beautiful, the one I see or guess through my lens, touches me and does me good.
Animals have been my first source of inspiration, deliciously unpredictable and eternally renewed, for over 20 years. I follow them, I observe them and I grasp them with the desire to present them to you as I see them and I wish that you could perceive and apprehend them: sensitive and beautiful.
I am proud and eager to meet you again for a series of exhibitions planned throughout the year and from spring, from my region of origin to the Paris region and Haute-Savoie (dates and venues to come on my social networks). Each project is driven by this desire for beauty, a futile requirement (some would say not essential) in a world under turbulence, but a necessary parenthesis to aspire to harmony, to restore balance, our balance.
It will be my gift to accompany you.
With my best wishes,
Laurent Baheux
