Through the use of «photopainting», Julien Pasteau seeks to transcend the photography via the use of paint. The 33-year-old self-taught artist,started out by chance. After correspondence with the photographer Willy Ronis, he embarks on photography. At the same time, he studied architecture in Paris and formed his artistic conscience by working with different mediums. The use of traces, the search for poetry and the banality of some of his themes are characteristic of his work. «I try to capture silent moments, monumental landscapes and details of mundane life». Julien Pasteau works exclusively with a medium formats camera to experience the snapshot more intensively. «There is a greater risk of photo failure with a film camera, as shooting is rare but it is the perfect medium to capture the innocent beauty of nature». These topics are often common. Here a road, here a mountain, a cityscape or a motel pool. His photographs seem static. The photopainting allows the artist to transport us by accentuating the aesthetics of a situation by sublimiting the mundane.
