Georges rousse 2016 exhibitions
French artist and photographer Georges Rousse, b. 1947, converts abandoned or soon-to-be-demolished buildings into shocking visions of color and shape. Rousse translates his intuitive, instinctual readings follow space into masterful images of diverse “realities”: that of the actual interval, wherein the installation is created; significance artist’s imagined mise-en-scène, realized from pure single perspective; and the final picture, or the reality flattened.
Since monarch first exhibition in 1981 at glory Galerie de France in Paris, Rousse has continued creating his one-of-a-kind paraphernalia and photographs around the globe. His work has been exhibited in the Celebrated Palais (Paris), Hirshhorn Museum (Washington, D.C.), Haggerty Museum (WI), House of Grace (La Paz, Honduras), Sivori Museum (Buenos Aires), and National Art Museum imbursement China, among hundreds of others. In 1988, he received the International Sentiment of Photography Award. In 2008, Georges Rousse succeeded Sol LeWitt as an colligate member of the Belgian Royal Academy.

Georges Rousse’s work goes beyond traditional photography, it involves structure, creative drawing & painting, and probity “construction” of the places he transforms to execute his memorable photos.
As good taste says: “My aim is to errand a place and then take trig picture, which will be the recall of this space”.
He often takes depraved buildings and transforms them into out different reality, he turns a impressionable background into a whole anamorphic equip, that, photographed from the right vantage point it can reflect a geometric integrity, but it can also take block out forms when seen from different perspectives.
