Clark et Pougnaud

French Photographer

From www.clarkpougnaud.com
Clark and Pougnaud born in 1963 and 1962 respectively were both raised in France. Clark comes from a line of photographers. He started as his father�s asistant before opening his own studio in the 80�s. Pougnaud was strongly influenced by her grandmothers, both painters, and her mother who comes from the theatre world. In the late 90�s they became partners and worked in duo. Clark is taking pictures and Pougnaud is building sets in which the models will take place. Clark�s north american roots and the 5 years period Pougnaud spent in the US, naturally had an effect upon their work. In 2000 they received an award for their first serie of photographs as a tribute to Edward Hopper�s paintings, which was followed by an exhibition at the Maison Europeenne de la Photographie in Paris. In 2006 they received the HSBC �s award for photography. They live and work in Paris. They �make� approximately 10 pictures per year. �slow art� is their response to the speed process to which the human being is confronted today. Their pictures are shown in artfairs worldwide by galleries.

Patrick Morarescu

Nationality: German

Statement:
Due to the natural dynamic and complexity of the individual, I have always been drawn to portraiture. I photograph persons to whom I feel an initial attraction and try to reflect this force in images. A power that you cannot describe in words or in rational concepts but it captures the attention and creates a strong curiosity, a sort of addiction not only to body shapes, eyes, skin tonalities, but to what is behind: the thoughts and the mental state of (…)

Artist Statement: "My childhood was different then most.
